And we're in Nigeria to see how a community is recovering from a disaster from a collapsed mine.
Last week, a raid by U.S. ICE,
immigration control and enforcement on a Hyundai and LG battery plant in Georgia resulted in the arrest of over 400 Korean workers.
The officials claimed that they were working there illegally.
The raid caused something of a diplomatic row between Seoul and Washington,
and it means the plant is now facing a minimum start-up delay of two to three months.
That's according to the Hyundai CEO Jose Munoz.
The plant, part of a $7.6 billion factory complex to make battery-powered models,
was due to come online later this year.
The fallout of the raid has been widespread.
Workers at other LG plants, including those co-owned by GM were asked to return home.
