Central African Republic report calls for closure of four Chinese gold mines

Four Chinese-run gold mines should be closed in the Central African Republic because the pollution they produce is threatening public health, says a local parliamentary report. Newsday's David Whitty spoke to the Italian priest - Father Aurelio Gazzera - who works near there and who's helped publicise the problem.
