[00:01:17] of heartfelt
[00:01:18] of condolences to the families that lost their
[00:01:22] loved ones within our
[00:01:24] of territory. It is rather
[00:01:27] unfortunate, but we want to appeal to them. to see
[00:01:31] it as part

[00:02:18] within here, but even when it has not taken lives of our people

[00:02:55] to st for some time without
[00:02:59] fish. without water to drink, it is
[00:03:02] unfortunate. The

[00:08:41] My name. remains a major source of livelihood for hundreds of
[00:08:45] youth and women in plateau state, but the dangers
[00:08:48] associated with unregulated operations continue to
[00:08:52] raise concerns, following series of fatal mining accidents
[00:08:56] and attacks in plateau and other parts the country, the
[00:08:59] plateau state government says it is taking strategic steps to
[00:09:03] reorganize the sector for improved safety, efficiency
[00:09:07] and economic benefits. our correspondent Percy
[00:09:11] Debang reports.
[00:09:15] every day hundreds of youths and women troop to mine insight across
[00:09:19] plateau state to extract in and columbite and other mineral
[00:09:23] resources providing a source of livelihood for
[00:09:26] many. while some minors depend on
[00:09:30] manual labor, others use heavy equipment including
[00:09:34] excavators to extract the
[00:09:35] minerals.
[00:09:40] but these activities come with serious ris. including
[00:09:43] collapsing pets, flooding and threats to critical
[00:09:46] infrastructure.
[00:09:50] mining close to high tension electricity transmission lines
[00:09:54] thrighting the supporting structures invenger miners, surrounding
[00:09:58] communities and national assets. the dangers are reflected in
[00:10:01] recent reports which identified at least 29 deads in five
[00:10:05] mining accidents and 13 deaths in four attacks on mining
[00:10:09] sights across the country in the past three months. in
[00:10:13] Niger state, 37 suspected illegal miners also
[00:10:16] died in the custody the Nigeran Security and Civil Defense
[00:10:20] Core, although the cause their dead is yet to be
[00:10:23] conclusively established.
[00:10:28] to address these concerns, the plateau state commissioner for environment,
[00:10:32] climate change and solid minerals alongside mining experts
[00:10:35] visited some mining sit in just south local government area to
[00:10:39] inspect operations and interact with artisanal
[00:10:42] miners, we see how we should coordinate all these local
[00:10:46] miners so that we will prevent what happen
[00:10:50] in Niger state and
[00:10:51] then k state and also the accident happen within ra
[00:10:57] the accident and then the the bandit th as well too, so if
[00:11:01] we don't synergize with those local artisan miners, there is no how we understand
[00:11:04] what is going on, the government want to take charge the
[00:11:08] artisanship these mining people, this mining operations are done in
[00:11:12] localities whereby it affects the people the
[00:11:15] states, so when we have this synergy and cooperation, definitely
[00:11:19] it's going to be a win-win
[00:11:20] situation, the
[00:11:24] miners also highlight the support they need from the government to
[00:11:28] improve their operations. we are not finding it's
[00:11:30] easy, it is so difficult and later
[00:11:34] on you not see what you gain or you just have a small
[00:11:38] change which is not helpful. with the
[00:11:42] government being involved maybe we reduce the risk
[00:11:46] of uh the accidents and the mining
[00:11:50] sites. as the government moves to bring miners into a more
[00:11:53] organized framework, The expectation is that with stronger
[00:11:57] regulations, proper monitoring and continuous engagement, mining
[00:12:00] will become safer and further prevent loss of lives from the

[00:18:51] On the foreign scene, power cuts have been reported in three Ukrainian
[00:18:55] regions following Russian strikes on energy infrastructure,
[00:18:58] despite US President Donald Trump's announcement of what he called an
[00:19:02] energy seizfire. Ukrainian president Vlodimir Zelenski says
[00:19:06] Russia strong power plant shortly after President Trump
[00:19:10] announced the proposal and this raises fresh questions over whether the
[00:19:14] porse attacks will take effect. President Zelenski says
[00:19:18] Kieve is ready to support the arrangement if Moscow agrees, but the
[00:19:21] Kremlin is yet to respond. For now, the proposed sease fire
[00:19:25] remains uncertain as fresh strikes threaten power supplies
[00:19:29] and hopes for pause in the
[00:19:31] conflict.
[00:19:35] UK prime minister Andy B says Russia interfered in
[00:19:39] Britain's 2016 Brexit referendum, warning
[00:19:43] that similar disinformation campaigns and now targeting
[00:19:47] France and Germany. Speaking on the podcast, Prime Minister
[00:19:51] Burnham said he was given clear confirmation of
[00:19:54] Russia interfering after entering Downing
[00:19:58] Street, although he provided no details about the alleged activity
[00:20:02] or its impact on the result. The claims come amaid wider
[00:20:06] concerns over Russian. linked this information, including fake
[00:20:09] news websites and AI generated videos. Prime Minister
[00:20:13] Burnham says the UK must do more to protect democratic
[00:20:16] institutions as foreign interference concerns
[00:20:20] grow across
[00:20:21] Europe. And back here
[00:20:25] on the continent, Algerian authorities say they have arrested 61
[00:20:29] Moroccan nationals, suspected of planning acts of sabotage
[00:20:33] a case that could further strain relations between the North African
[00:20:37] navy. Morocco's security directorate says those
[00:20:41] detained allegedly belong to an international criminal network,
[00:20:44] among them is reportedly a former Moroccan army soldier, the
[00:20:48] arrests against the backdrop of decades long
[00:20:52] tensions between algers and rabbit, particularly over
[00:20:56] Western Sahara, the disputed territory claimed by Morocco and the
[00:21:00] focus of a pro Independence movement backed by
[00:21:04] Algeria. The two countries severed diplomatic relations in
[00:21:07] 2021, while their land border has remained closed
[00:21:11] since 1994. With relations already strange, the
[00:21:15] latest arres risk adding another layer of tension between the
