Portugal lithium deposits: Gov't deciding whether to approve mine

Portugal is set to decide whether to give the go-ahead for Europe’s largest lithium mine.

It is seen as a vital mineral in the fight against climate change, because it is used to make batteries for electric vehicles.

But local people fear the mine could cause lasting environmental damage.

Al Jazeera's @Adam Raney reports from northeast Portugal.
