Claimants for deadly Mariana dam collapse file injunction against BHP, Vale

Lawyers representing claimants taking legal action over Brazil's worst environmental disaster filed an injunction this week against miners BHP and Vale for "trying to derail" a potential £36-billion ($46-billion) London lawsuit. More than 720 000 Brazilians, including 46 local governments, are suing BHP and Vale over the 2015 collapse of the Mariana dam, which was owned and operated by their Samarco joint venture.
