the change within the tree that we still have a knowledge or change but. maybe it takes one person at a time conversation is talking about it. right with friends and. actually making that change happen. it sounds like we're getting there i said i do believe that you are and it sounds like what you're saying is that it's sort of an organic process. this week and the panel that i mentioned earlier you spoke at fashion and activism one of the audience members or on the panel one of the questions that came up was that you are an activist and whether or not you can embrace the title do you call yourself an activist would you would you label yourself a thought i personally don't label myself as an activist. because i feel like for me i don't know maybe it's because i'm twenty and i still have so much to learn and my work with unicef just started half

1:05 am
a perfect formula for authoritarianism and here in the early years the lights are on and there's nowhere to hide let me ask you straight out here is the two state solution now dead up front or italians on al-jazeera. i know i'm maryam namazie and london has just a quick look at the top stories now the u.s. has threatened to sanction the international criminal court calling it an accountable and dangerous president donald trump's national security adviser john bolton made the warning during his first major speech in washington d.c. he said i.c.c. judges and officials would be slapped with financial and criminal charges if they tried to prosecute americans accused of war crimes in afghanistan but also confirm the trump administration will close palestine's diplomatic mission in washington the united states will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of
1:06 am
our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court we will not cooperate with the i.c.c. we will provide no assistance to the i.c.c. and we certainly will join the i.c.c. . we will let the i.c.c. die on its own after all for all intents and purposes the i.c.c. is already dead. a white house correspondent kimberly halkett has more on the reaction to bolton speech. well as you heard in the. clip there the audience itself was very much encouraged by what john bolton had to say it's the federal society's particularly conservative group it very much it here is to the principles of the u.s.
1:07 am
constitution and that was one of the major points of contention made by john bolton with regard to the international criminal court that basically it undermines u.s. sovereignty in the u.s. constitution that mandates a separation of powers a check on powers in stead he says that essentially it has broad sweeping powers and as a result the u.s. cannot recognize it does not recognize it but also painted a picture of the i.c.c. as being somewhat ineffectual in terms of the fact that it has in the words of john bolton one point five billion dollars but just secured eight convictions so essentially undermining it but particularly concerned about the fact that there is now this concern that if it takes action against the united states by potentially prosecuting u.s. soldiers or other u.s. members of the u.s. government working in afghanistan for war crimes that in fact the u.s. would sanction judges from the international criminal court potentially not only

1:14 am
ladies suddenly found on their knees in front of me i was like. i don't have any sort of government administrative power and don't have much financial resources to do with this but i told myself at that moment in front of those ladies i told myself that. at least i need to bring the message out. i need to make sure that all the users of all those gadgets they need to be informed about this. i moved to this area in one nine hundred sixty nine to go to law school because i
1:15 am
said i wanted to help people who didn't have the means to represent themselves. it was a time when most people not heard of the semiconductor industry. but within a few years people started seeing the the birth of what has become the you know global electronics industry. the. top names were companies hewlett packard apple intel advanced micro devices. the virtually the who's who of the electronics industry. and of course the granddaddy of them all was i.b.m. . when i got a card and i.b.m. that was great that was the company to work for at the time i could go any place where he worked i.b.m. and i don't need an id just write a check it was that easy i.b.m. had that much clowne. i was the first marker processor buyer for i.b.m.
1:16 am
. in the early eighty's the idea of a personal computer which was was on oxymoron right i mean personal computer what end it what would you use it for anyway but it got legs and we started the p.c. business the first year they shipped fifty thousand units. and so we went from a thousand a week to forty thousand a week and at that point the p.c. was long. from almost the very beginning you heard electronics and semiconductor production it was a clean industry they said it was as clean as a hospital but what they weren't telling people was that it was really a chemical and lay industry and that the magic of making these microcircuits relied on the use of hundreds if not thousands of very toxic chemicals and that's why they have clean rooms that's why they have bunny suits to try to protect the chips it
1:17 am
was never designed to protect the workers it was always designed to protect the product itself over i got those a lot of different chemicals they built the disk drives we had to strip them out and then would literally have to dip i'm in severe gases and with a sponge and just with armed with severe i dunno what it was is i just knew it stunk really bad and you couldn't get it on your skin because it would burn you like nobody's business what would happen was people started getting sick was very strange kinds of illnesses things that didn't seem to make a lot of sense and didn't seem to hang together but increasingly as this happened more and more there was a small group of people that began to think that maybe this was related to the chemical exposure on the job. one put music on yeah right you want to turn on the music from. but some good music on today.
1:18 am
right there. that does not mean there's a thing of. the. one nine hundred seventy five i was eighteen years old and i started working in the electronics field i went to spector physics and they just hired me just like. i was making the end of the laser and i would have to mix up this chemical in i used to call it green go. and get the consistency and then put it into a spray gun and i would have to heat that up after a glued on together that was just all the way that i did at that event didn't know the material she was using turns out to be probably in the vicinity of fifty percent little excited she didn't know she was exposed to lead in
1:19 am
tell her that i got pregnant with mark in one thousand seventy nine and that was full term my months and we're just really happy about it. that he doesn't even know to cross the street and no cars coming to stop going to the restroom you know i have to go with him in there so i have to system with everything. number one or you better know. if i knew what i know now i would a ran out of spec or physics at the time it was unnecessary it just. breaks my heart that i could avoid it.
