8:31 am

8:33 am
enough crisis escalating and detailed coverage as well as prime minister, relies on foreign ministers to stay in power. they want the raft results to go ahead, define them, and then you know, who could be out of office this is solomon islands america. the serious scooby dive is the stable these guys have traveled from all over the well to be here to see some impressive and deep will go to rick. rick daughter's attractive in not just boy rusty bits of metal on the border as the history of just the challenge. many people on this is found one of the greatest see graveyards as world war 2. but what lies beneath is an environmental time, but the reality is there is a tremendous amount of pollution that some of these wrecks,
8:34 am
as they are literally the sense of taking time off. the question is, how much was inpatient briggs and our team leasing. we thought about it before, like lips move an 80 years ago, a ferocious bathroom took place here between japan and the allies, and the legacy of it extends from the sea to the shore with deadly weapons and ammunition still littering bays on the 101 east makes the solomon islanders who todd, to escape a brutal or the ended decades ago. the floor of the coast of guadalcanal on the solomon mazda dive place is going to put a fucking in knoxville for you. i'm here with neil yates. i 1st met him when i used
8:35 am
to live here and he was running a dive company today to see, to share his deep knowledge of solomon's war time passed with these divers, walking along solomon islands and the 2 arm bottom sounds. you're unaware why this is called on bottom sound. it is because there are on around the $200.00 ships out there. there's also $690.00 aircraft out there. so this was one of the most densely populated rec sites in the pacific data. guadalcanal was the longest campaign of any of the campaigns which report throughout the orleans and the pacific. on august 7th, 1942 american marines in their 1st major ration landed on bundles and at least landing on guadalcanal, an island in the solomons was the 1st time during world war 2. the us had invited
8:36 am
japanese held territory, triggering a series of massive specials on land. and it's saying, by the months, an extraordinary amount of amunition was exchanged by both sides. the end of the doctor's office on ellen cruise, the camera was lost. the losses were numerous around 30000 men were killed, move in a 1000 planes destroyed in thousands of ships. sunk gall canal is extremely significant. that stops the japanese advance across the pacific and the american forces and pushed them eventually back to back to my mind japan. the rex. these divers have come to see,
8:37 am
have been corroding some ice. and these mold and just rusting mitchell down there. there's also an unknown amount of toxic black oil trapped inside the corroding rigs . the salt, whole lot of oil on things around here trying to plum label like i can only as an a guess. but yeah, we're talking tens of thousands of tons the today. new is going to be my dog buddy. we're going to see if we can find any oil and see what impact the corrosion is having on these chips. and if you take the, we're heading down the more in line to see us. this kind of was an oil tank it sunk
8:38 am
during a japanese a right in 1943. the sitting 60 mesa is below the surface with its guns still pointing sky wood. it's a haunting sun awoke, right? it's quite a large ship. total fuel capacity was a bit of a 9000 tons this is the opening to one of the ships many fuel bunk because the just a few years ago they was oil in this hold. and daughters would leave covered in a sticky black sludge. now it's empty, but it's just one risk of why there are others, divers conte getting to the or just the use the country and all the holes on the ships so we
8:39 am
can go to certainly 16. so don't know what is the big mix dive side is just off the coast. about 10 kilometers from the capital. honey, are the it's japanese transport colt. they hear a color maroon. it's a popular dive side would be useful. corals and fish the inside part of the ship, new funds of pocket of boil, trapped in a space on the roof. there are more oil patches like these in here enough to pollute the beach if they were to leak out. as we had to the surface,
8:40 am
i think about how big these problem could be and how much we comp c a lot of the rates are really, really big and really hard to access. no noise, exactly how much coolant oil was on board when they went down. know how much they still live. having dive live is solomon island. there's one rick neely's boutique, really worried about the american cruise. us us, us atlanta threats which is something that's uh, there's a major rupture of appeals. so like to make this the atlanta laws in a 113 maces of warsaw. it's too deep for us to dive today. these
8:41 am
pictures were filmed by an expedition crew in 2011 of oil bubbles coming to the surface. how likely do you think it is? so how possible do you think it is that a ship like that could rupture at some point in the future? likely, yeah, it's all the likely, it's fairly hipley built, but it's eventually, oh, it will rust and collapse. you can see it was just sort of the structure here. he is collect doctor mat casa, and he's a marine archaeologist choose investigating the corrosion of world war 2 ricks in the pacific. so we work for the g or so it's a company called aging. and they can use a lot stitching map or slips on spice to you can save solomon islands. and as you can see here, the quart oil slicks from thousands of individuals move or taisha brooks. what's the swamp that's right off the coast funny. all right, so that's the easiest atlanta, the, the amount of oil. what's coming of that is as
8:42 am
a low mountain, these changes been documenting pollution elsewhere in the pacific in march for nature with the rex and notice data. it's a warning about what could be happening in solomon's versus their daughters, and this kind of one of the rigs and real quick. and as you can see here, it is a mess of all kinds of, of oil side. that's what we're leaked out of the bunk of tanks themselves and come out of stock and those roof cavities and pots of the how well it would take is a small hole in the how full the soil to spill out. potentially 1000 the latest of oil released at one guy which is not, that's kind of one of the worst case scenarios for, for this kind of problem across the pacific. japan and the us tennessee on a ship of the rigs as will grapes. but in solomons, they not doing anything to stop them from causing environmental problems with the
8:43 am
rex and solomon islands. do you think it's a case of when not, if there is a significant spill, the rates are crowding we know that it's, it's science and they will release the oil that they have the remains. but the question is, how much was in these they short breaks and can anything be done about it before like lips? is it clear? who has the legal and the moral responsibility to do something about these wrecks? it's not clear. it's a really complicated situation by the end of the day, the solomon islanders the more canadians, you know, they shouldn't be the ones picking up the, the, the cost and things like this and page of the game. the funny are, is a busy, rapidly expanding seasons that was built on the battlefield. p a. people still rely heavily on the land and the sea.
8:44 am
the u. s. will memorial is a spectacular spot to take it only and get a sense of how different the land looks during the war. on these sites, they will not see. no houses whatsoever. only for us. you have come here with saint michael. been a world war 2 to a god, hold on this uh, unexploded bones, greenage and all of these are displaying on the surface so many times when the people make thousands, they never realize that the unexploded booms just a few feet down on the ground. so when they was, the brass is old, the trees, the southern, the, the, the world exploded the sports. but the one who forever sunday, leaving the stuffing upstairs. this is the solomon islands police farm squad.
8:45 am
i was wanting offices there among some of the most experienced world war 2 disposal experts in the regional since 2011. they've recovered nearly 50000 unexploded ordnance code us. so is, so the most common thing is some degree, like almost every week we have call out the boys, the window didn't respond and get the drawing 8. and then we have the project, those especially the 75000000 with the color a clifford to no key is the department's acting director. he knows about the dangers of us. so is, but many locals don't. some of the ordinances. they have some very sensitive elements within the bottom, which is really sensitive the moment. so the moment the project,
8:46 am
it just just exploded for the past 10 years about that in that, in people that have been queued. so for a small population, it is a high number is quite consuming. the bill, this is job is to respond to reports of buicks always found, find the crew they headed to a house on the outskirts of the city. these hilltops nearby will part of the evacuation route taken by japanese soldiers as american troops post them off the island. so just arrived at the spot where a bomb has been reported and the police have just gone down to check it out. we have to stay here because they don't know if it's safe to me,
8:47 am
but look i talked to local allan velocity because the us so was found by a child. and it's not the 1st time you have the funding, small confidence, a little bit of feelings when you 1st apply, hey, way, hey, survey funding the telephone level to you see him home for. but how do come little uh, what would meaningful selling boom boom campaigns are too much done with give me what i see. and it's a small projectile, but still contains high explosive materials while we're here. now the cold comes in the, so i much development going on in honey. all right, u x
8:48 am
o is often found on construction thoughts post behind a shipping container out the front of this building. so this is 60 millimeters or more around, based on this one today or before. yeah. and excavations has on us to move us just sticking around if any other ones just laid out, um do you think that could be more on this side? could be more, but some might be other people they should be cleared into before construct soon but it's not the job of police to check below the surface. it's fascinating to me that they've just pulled some motors out of the ground. but these guys just keep on working. if you're looking at any other place in the, well, if that happened, a building start like this would be immediately shut down. but here in solomon islands, paperless so reduced to having these bones and these folding and flying around. so
8:49 am
they just have to get on with the police off and get calls from the halo. trust deal has been given a $1000000.00 by the us government to serve by the land for will to us. so is there any reporting what they see on the surface today, they found 38 projectiles and a pile near a tree. and another 79 in the bushes is old, empty sales, but we are ready to take them and throw it at the house. cut off by a tail spread, locals moved one you excited to a tree branch to keep it away from little hands. the sand retained goss uh,
8:50 am
leaves just up the hill side. it was right there on the banana, i dislike. i don't even picked it up. i just moved it and it exploded it now. and what did you think when you saw it was like, can use like a little kettle, like a team or seen or that like a m a. see it here. he was 11 when he found a world will to round containing want phosphorus which causes excruciating bins. and he's been left with severe injuries. but he's one of the lucky ones, rosary astray, you have helped him get surgery and rehab. can you pick things out full? yeah, i can pick the full quite this is smoking, not a big thing. the most of the offensive spent on clearing us always from the surface, leaving the most challenging job of looking for them on the ground to
8:51 am
a handful of private clearance oper. right? to me by me safety also for you me to day. so if anything i'm up in this put them on, blew up on to say something so so, so the model mac has spent 16 years in the police bomb squad before starting his own company. what's the deepest you've ever found? the u. x us the go about the 3 meet us and we found both hands is the $136155.00 project tense using military grade mrs. detective. he charges just $0.65 per square meter to check the land for us. so is that most solomon islanders come to food, even that very, very expensive for that. how do you feel that in the times that you've, you've, you've heard that someone's been injured or being killed by us? so what goes through your mind when that happens? the,
8:52 am
the very most of the story. i think the government is not, you know, so help full enough to help these people. they are not to fight as peaceful in a peaceful civil it. and it's totally manada. when the war ended, us japanese life process went home, went home and peace. we still do not have please, on doing we, we sort of say for me it's in the,
8:53 am
i'm struck by how the actions of japan and the allies, 80 years ago continues to effect. so in many solomon islanders the in cook and fishing village, the day stops early. one the fly would or wireless in naval and peter know a has been up since for i am preparing to make coconuts guns for school lunches. so this is migrated coconut. this replaces the milk for the rough with the how the milk ben doesn't have that island taste. but now even cooking is a struggle. and these 2 things as being removed. and this one being re lesser rated right to the wrist. it doesn't give me any strength
8:54 am
at all. 3 years ago, milan and to a friends looking on a traditional 5 page. when in world war 2 projectile buried on the ground, exploded. the show was americans with their to hands legs and abdomen to shreds into 2 friends. a troll when the cab beach and i was tearing it. and just when i was saving it into the bowl that they were holding on to them, the thing exploded. i didn't hear the explosion. i had the hissing sound, and then i realize that something is happening to us. i, i so my next time i'm on hand, you know the skin and the flush were all hanging right to my ribs. and then i,
8:55 am
i realize i'm in big trouble. she lives with pain, had to quit a job at the national university and doesn't get support from the government or any of the countries involved in the role. in other places, there is support. and in the slow months there is no support is really frustrating to me, emotionally. i'm really, i don't, i don't know if it affects me to think that the us and japan and the allies should html. yes. sometimes i want to blame the of the allies for doing i mean the war and had it not for them. i wouldn't be having this issues, but it's because of what they came with and what they leave behind. that's cost
8:56 am
somewhere for us to have. please enjoy reason last life and all this they should be coming over in person with the resources to do the clean up the back at the police fun score. headquarters, the offices, the heading down the range to dispose of 2 rounds of want phosphorus by blowing them up the we have to stay at a safe distance in the radio room to
8:57 am
down. but there are many, many more to go. what is out there is unsafe in just my estimate. it would be more than a $100000.00 of items still out there. the cleaning up the solomon islands will probably take decades and it's highly likely in that time more people will be injured and even killed the mainland doesn't want to let that happen. she's now training in us. so risk awareness in the hope she can one of the stuff, the dangers and spit them the hara and hardship on. i've been given a 2nd chance to me. so the 2nd chance that i have now is to tell others about my experience and be more careful with life. because once we lose
8:58 am
it, that's it finished some of us, we never have a 2nd chance. i have one. so i will use the 2nd chance that i've been given to house office. the red one is the world's wherever screeching numbers are plummeting. due to deforestation, culture and climate change. indian sides are fighting to protect. one of the most important things to control the species is to maintain their habitats. 101 east reveals the bottle to save and use on. i'll just call choose solutions. that gives us no hope for future that we have to find creative solutions. not just turn our backs, i don't think that has a number. think about it as a person yourself and that person shares. so as you can see for this
8:59 am
is my us, my life. earliest in my life, those stages we want we want to break because the women and my country deadlocks we want. we are not denies all of who we are human beings and deserves to be treated equally. we are in the footsteps, our ancestors. whatever has been done before can be done as long as a human being is doing it. you just have to keep pushing because no one else can see. the vision is clear. there's a deliberate mission of posting in humanity in western and it needs to be questions . this is not the time to, to mr. kind of way. examining the effect that news coverage can have on democracies everywhere here at the listing the best,
9:00 am
the . ready a 76, he is on from the knock by a new catastrophe. robotics jeanine's close to half a 1000000 people forced to leave because of 7 most city of the so i'm for the back people. you're watching out you 0 life from don't as part of sign mocks to knock by furious fighting wages on from the north to the south of the gaza strip. and some of the most in tendencies really attack same weeks. yet the us is looking to approve a new $1000000000.00 package of weapons for israel and 11 use at least one for.
