we've once again found a huge variety of different mines. it's ukranian positions, again mines that ukraine had claimed that told the international community. it doesn't have like these mon 90 vines, which ukraine said only russia uses. and once again, we have found them at ukrainian positions. but even more interestingly here, he's another anti personnel mine. it says in the canister, back, buried on the ground to be triggered in a variety of ways by trip while by stepping on it. and what it does is it flies out of its kenneth to a distance of about a height of about a meter and designates and all this shrapner war of these pieces and flicks of metal embedded in these plastic shred everyone around at the chest level. also here, ah, andy, thank bonds and hundreds and hundreds of kilograms of high explosives. what they would do with these is stick detonators infuses from grenades into these blocks of exclusives. they would cover them with shrapnel, so bolts or nails and they would hide them in bushes, tie them to trees. so any one who would s

the law will give a state run company exclusive right to mine. let the n a mineral crucial for electric car battery smartphones and other devices. such a company does not yet exist, and the mexican government has no experience in mining. lithium, netflix share price plunged 25 percent, and after hours trading after it announced a net loss of $200000.00 subscribers in the 1st quarter, says it expects to lose $2500000.00 more. and the current quarter netflix thrived during the pandemic, but is now losing out as households grapple with rising inflation. italian government officials are visiting the republic of congo and goal of this week to pursue deals on natural gas supply. we recently struck agreements with algeria and egypt as it looks to reduce its dependence on russian energy. now the global search and energy prices has accelerated renewable energy commitments. but many countries are also increasing investments and fossil fuels that are currently in short supply such as the case in north macedonia, which has delayed its plans to face out coal.

but now international mining companies want to dig deep again . the rock within all around us, it was for 3 or 4 kilometers beneath the earth's crust. and then about a 1000000000 years ago, these mountains just red up. and they reckoned that within this area alone, there are one and a half 1000000 tons of rare with minerals, with another $26000000.00 tons at a site nearby. and all of that combined is enough to supply the wealth total need, a rare earth minerals for a 115 years, which is why this whole area is just so valuable and has so much attention. so what exactly are the results is here? well, the main mineral mining companies want to extract from here is called lodge of right . it contains uranium, zinc, and most importantly, rarefied metals, rarest metals are a group of 17 elements, once refine, they possess unique magnetic and electrochemical properties, which could be used in electric vehicles. wind turbines, smartphones, even combat aircraft. the problem for locals is the uranium byproduct of the mining process. this is my mother's fathe

by the mining is basically the fight. a mining is mining using plants. mid. if you want to use plants to extract valuable elements from the soil and board with the help of their waves, extra you rare earth and other metals such as germanium exist in small quantities everywhere in our soils. the world is dependent on imports from asia, but they are also to be found in soils all over the world. invisible to us, plants can take them in through their roots to you what? so the florida of course, the roots of the plant is just as important as the chute. and even if you can barely see it from above ground, the olive garden, the root has the task of supplying the plant with nutrients, often give alongside his nutrition. those elements that are important to us, such as germanium and where earths are also taken in corn, is especially able to extract large quantities of germanium from the soil. the plants absorb the elements, fire the roots and transported onward into leaves by the vascular tissue of the chute. the elements of bound and stored in the plant cells. corn,

and creating a large open bit mine. that's really problematic, but our up on the of, of opportunities are also a possibility. so for example, use geothermal brian, it's like in like in germany. so do you think that lithium will help and the use reliance on oil as some people hope it might? well, it definitely will because i am, as you can imagine, if, if all cars in europe would be electric vehicles. and that would certainly a dense demand for, for oil products in europe. and it's a matter of timing, let's say. so we have to make sure that we, that we scale this production of batteries and electric vehicles. and there we also materials like lithium and nickel as soon as possible in order to make this happen . how vulnerable as europe right now to the various supply risks, because as we've been reporting, the production and refining of lithium are, are heavily concentrated right now, at least in a handful of foreign countries. yes, absolutely. so where we're completely dependent on the board. so not only of the raw mater

also, if these minds broke off so easily, it means the mining wasn't done properly. that makes one think the minds were left to float free in the black sea. international law allows states to lay sea mines in their waters to protect themselves from attack, but allowing mines to flow into international waters is illegal. looked at the leash, we let that the un should be questioning ukraine. turkey has a strong capacity to sweep the mines, but this is an irresponsible drive. it really does no matter who was responsible for the miles they now pause a serious risk to local fishermen like show him who have been told not the fish at night. shine says when turkey defused the mines in the sea last week, the explosion hit like an earthquake. good m a stick will my ball. if you don't see the mind, then you explode, you'd done with him. it's only a slight contact is enough to do it. night fishing has been mel. thank god, it's the end of the season. if we weren't peak season in the scenario would be different. we're expecting many more minds to drift by here on a month or so. th

of course mining is always a big thing to do, let's say in a local surrounding. so there's always a lot of impacts in terms of a lot of extra industry activities. and also just to see a 5, an open pit. mine is very large, often not a product process in germany with, let's say, geothermal bryant is very different. you don't need a large open bid for that. you can also use the energy that comes from, from the underground, basically to do that in a problem for all men are sort of different ways of doing this. and i'm pretty sure that in europe we will take all these or mental impacts into account when we are starting. you and your projects. ah, your channels is there with me. still rahman in dough reminder of all the top news stories. russia is being accused of once again talking residential areas and it strikes against ukraine. one person was killed in a 1000, others injured when rockets hit the city of kirk keith. russian forces of also talked in the capital, keith from where russell sort of reports. a raid sirens sounding on there over the city.

if you look, the community says more lithium mines will defeat the little water. they have easier your 2nd illegal. no one on that. if they extract the lithium from the salt flats, every single die i water will dry up because the water comes from the same place in . but that's not the only controversy till his new government wants to create a state own lithium company. rather than ward more contracts to multinationals, so that the profit stay at home. many argue that julie should also expand to producing lithium batteries for everything from mobile phones to electric cars, which is with the real money. is that what former deputy mining minister and god? blanca warns it's not feasible. it but it becky, the lead the lithium batteries contained 8 percent lithium. and till you would have to import the remaining 92 percent of materials. it's simply not profitable. also, it takes 10 years for a lithium mine to start giving returns on investment while it sets up a state lithium company, the new government must determine how many more if any concessions will be awarded to

so that is all of this is still very fresh in the mines of palestinians and certainly fresh in the mines on the really side as well on the touch leave. that meant thanks very much for that update this week is set to be a crucial test of who becomes the next president of france and mental macro takes on challenger marine the pendant debate on wednesday. the televised change will be watched by millions of people ahead of the april the 24th runoff election. patasha butler has bona from birth. while we're in the final leg of the french presidential election in one week, voters will go to the polls to pick the next president of france and choose between 2 very different vision for the country. on one side, disinterested. manual micro is running for a 2nd term as president, management of the covey pandemic in from august diplomacy over the war. and ukraine certainly played out very well with photos, but he's still struggling to shake his reputation amongst thumb. that he is a president who favors the rich o'neil behind the marine. the pen is the leader of the far right party. she's still from

make up your own mind if you need for mines. ah, ah. hello and welcome to focus on europe and we begin with the war that continues to ravage large parts of ukraine in recent days, violence there has reached a new and even more shocking level. in the small town of boucher close to the capital cliff, russian troops appeared to have brutally massacred innocent civilians. their remains were literally scattered along the streets, men, women, and children, ukrainian government, and many in the international community believe the atrocities of war crimes the kremlin for its part denies any involvement. well, during russia's invasion of ukraine, vladimir putin has had the influential backing of patriarch carrier of moscow time . and again, the head of the russian orthodox church has cited with putin all the more remarkable therefore that a small russian orthodox monastery here in germany, in a village north of berlin, has been giving refuge to a number of ukrainians seeking shelter from proteins, bombs. oh much oh yeah. habit to new greets as g
