hello everyone welcome to CNN 10 I want
to start Today's Show with a big shout
out to all the teachers out there
finding ways to keep your students
informed and inspired thanks for making
me and my team part of your day hey Mr
Rothwell love your creativity on Tik Tok
you and all your students at Bridgetown
in Cincinnati Ohio bringing that energy
rise up let's start today with the
latest from Nigeria first over a million
people have been impacted by severe
floods in Northeastern Nigeria parts of
the region are seeing chest high water
levels with people crops and livestock
devastated Nigeria's Borno State has
been hit the hardest by floods worsened
by the collapse of a dam there its
capital city moui is seeing the worst
flooding there in 30 years the heavy
surge of water in ated half the city
damaging buildings infrastructure and
severely damaging the city's Zoo
officials say weeks of flooding across
Nigeria have led to hundreds of deaths
and hundreds of thousands of people
being displaced floods are not uncommon
in Northern Nigeria but scientists say
human-caused climate change is heating
the planet and they expect extreme
rainfall events to increase in frequency
and intensity across almost all of
Africa this affected region of Northeast
Nigeria is a significant one MRI has
been a hub for humanitarian operations
for years while Borno State has been at
the center of a 15-year armed Rebellion
by terrorist group boo Haram Millions
were already displaced there by that
fighting making those populations
already living in camps particularly
vulnerable delivering food in the most
desperate of ways it takes a good arm to
throw supplies to people trapped on
balconies and roof tops in flood soaked
my degree floods have affected up to 1
million people with many residents still
trapped in their houses after heavy
rains caused the dam to
overflow thousands of others managed to
flee the flood zone trudging through
waste deep water and climbing aboard
army trucks but after escaping one
life-threatening situation they are now
faced with another many many people I'm
talking about over 200,000 300 ,000 uh
displaced people who are overcrowding
several uh IDP camps and also on the
streets children scrape the bottom of a
pot of rice at one displacement camp
where thousands of evacuees are being
held food and water already in short
supply and people say the cost of goods
has shot up since the Central Market
flooded and local crops were destroyed
some families say they were given a tent
and little else
I must go out and find some food for my
family to eat I have no money and my
elder brother also has no money I don't
even know where he is now he must have
gone out Scavenging the mouy zoo also
flooded killing more than 80% of the
animals although crocodil snakes and
even an ostrich were washed into
communities miserable conditions all
around that could get worse especially
for those in temporary shelters where
threats like hunger and disease are also
likely waiting Michael Holmes
CNN Pop Quiz hot shot during what
Olympics were Metals first made using
precious metals recycled from used
electronics 2012 London 2016 Rio 2020
Tokyo or 2024
Paris the Tokyo Olympics are your answer
here almost 880,000 tons of discarded
devices collected from the public were
used to extract precious medals for the
Winner's medal
Olympics organizers aren't the first to
recycle heaps of devices to extract
precious metals all over the world
mobile phones digital cameras handheld
games laptops and more are dismantled
and melted down to extract gold platinum
and rare earth metals in Afghanistan
workers are doing this tedious job of
stripping electronics for precious
metals with little technology to assist
them in one of the least developed
countries in the world the work offers a
profitable salary but workers Fear the
Future of the trade may be short-lived
as precious metals are increasingly
swapped out for cheaper ones in newer
Electronics in a workshop filled with
TVs computers and cell phones these
electronics are only as useful as what's
found inside them workers break them
apart using pliers or their bare hands
searching for gold in their circuit
boards once the metal is extracted the
micrograms are accumulated and stripped
with acid it's a job both tedious and
risky those in wealthier Nations often
rely on technology with better
safeguards for the same
process it takes a long time to
dismantle everything we don't have the
necessary machinery and we don't have
much equipment we don't have much acid
which we bring in from Pakistan so we
can't extract anything except the gold
not even the silver the men make a
typical salary for Afghanistan around
$166 us a month in this Workshop the
owner says but while profitable for some
the future of the trade is Bleak
according to workers more and more
electronics are being produced with
cheaper Metals slowly diminishing the
amount of gold to be extracted from new
items Japanese electronic products are
decreasing day byday on the markets and
chines electronic products that are
increasing on the markets contain less
or no gold which is why the quantity of
gold is
decreasing the trade was revived
alongside the taliban's return to power
in 20121 when the assd used to strip the
gold became available again workers say
soaring gold prices have also
contributed to the industry's rebirth
just as fast as it's been revived the
recycling of gold from Electronics in
Afghanistan could come to a
halt the sector is not expected to grow
the new electronic Dev are more durable
and they don't contain gold I don't
think this business will develop any
further and will
disappear for now men work meticulously
on the floor of the workshop maskless
and gloveless to make a living for
themselves and their families but while
Afghanistan's gold industry thrives the
trade of recycling it may not for much
longer Paula Newton
