  • Canadian Mine Accused of Causing Skin Infections
    Fuente: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7934513.stm Por el link: http://www.business-humanrights.org Canadian mine accused of causing skin infections By Bill Law Reporter, Radio 4 Crossing Continents The photographs are disturbing, Mayans young and old covered in blisters and welts. Anti-mining activists say the rashes result from water polluted by a giant open-pit gold mine located in the Western Highlands of Guatemala. Marlin Mine is owned and operated by a large Canadian corporation called Goldcorp. The company strongly denies any link between their operation - which in a hot gold market is running 24 hours a day, seven days a week - and the ill health of the Mayans. Responding to the charge, the company said in a statement: "Comprehensive sampling conducted by the technical staff of the Public Ministry in Guatemala as well as by the Marlin environmental department has confirmed that river water quality is not adversely impacted by mine operations." RADIO 4: CROSSING CONTINENTS Bill Brassington heads a Canadian union pension fund that invests in Goldcorp and has seen the pictures taken by a North American non- governmental organisation called Rights Action. He points out that Rights Action has no medical evidence to support its claims. Still, as an ethical investor he is worried. Assessing Impact Besides the rashes, Goldcorp has been accused by some Guatemalan campaign groups and NGOs of unfair land purchase practices, human rights Unease over Guatemalan gold rush violations and environmental damage to the area surrounding the mine. Critics also say the company is taking huge amounts of profit out of impoverished indigenous communities and putting very little back in.

We are in the town of Sipacapa in the Western Highlands of Guatemala, washing down a breakfast of tamale and beans with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. As he tells me of the town's fight against a huge open pit gold mine, that famous picture of Che Guevara gazes at us from the wall. Here in Sipacapa, Mario Tema is an anti-mining icon. Last year he travelled to Vancouver, where the mine's Canadian owner, Goldcorp, has its headquarters. He went to speak out against the mine at the company's annual shareholders meeting.

    BBC NEWS | Programmes | Crossing Continents | Upwardly mobile ... http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/mpapps/pagetools/print/news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi... Upwardly mobile Afghanistan By Lyse Doucet Special Correspondent, BBC News The mobile phone has boosted the incomes of African women farmers and empowered poor Muslim women in Bangladesh. But can it also change women's lives in a conservative country where, only six years ago, a Taleban government confined women to the home? "Absolutely," insists Shainoor Khoja, who heads social programmes for Roshan, one of the biggest mobile telephone networks now operating in Afghanistan. But she admits it is still a "monumental task" to get women into the workforce. In a country with few landlines, nearly four million Afghans now have mobile telephones and the number keeps rising. It is big business and there are now four mobile phone companies in Afghanistan. All have social programmes including projects to distribute telephones free to women, especially in even more conservative areas outside Kabul. Women's businesses Call centres run by the mobile companies... are now some of Afghanistan's biggest employers Suhaira, 27, is one of the success stories. Married at 14, and now mother to five children, she runs a fruit and vegetable stand in her Kabul neighbourhood. Inside her crowded shop, there is a phone box, essentially a pay-per-call mobile telephone for public use. "I wanted to be the first woman shopkeeper in Afghanistan," she declares as she serves customers wearing a black scarf that covers her head and half of her face. Her eyes shine with conviction.

    The AIBs 2017 The Longlist Sponsors of the AIBs 2017 1 The AIBs 2017 The Longlist The AIBs 2017 Longlist Welcome The Association for International Broadcasting is pleased to announce the long list for this year’s AIBs, our 13th annual competition for factual video, audio and online content. This year we received more entries than ever before, and from more production companies and broadcasters. From Argentina to Papua New Guinea, Denmark to the UAE, this is a truly global competition that attracts the most significant work from the world’s best factual producers. Over the past few weeks, our short-listing team has been evaluating each of the hundreds of entries that we received, looking at and listening to the stories that have been told, and the way in which the producers have harnessed the capability of the medium they work in. This has enabled us to develop this long list. The programmes and productions represented in our long list are astonishing in the breadth of subjects covered, and the way in which the stories have been told or the investigations undertaken. From local issues to global concerns, these programmes are outstanding in their categories. The next stage is for our judges to receive their packs of material and then to take some extremely challenging decisions on which programmes represent the very best of their kind. On Wednesday 1 November, we will announce the overall winners in each category at our gala awards night at LSO St Luke’s in London. This is a meeting point for producers, editors, journalists and executives from all over the world and provides an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas in a collaborative and celebratory atmosphere.
