9:04 pm
puzzles need to be suitable is deal with at the top because a stance that they lift owed him a bill question. certainly if the only people in it when he was dissolved. the soviet government poorly enormous resources into the development of nuclear weapons . an entirely new town with a population devoted to nuclear research was built on the edge of the political. debate it would work with. you well as it would. look. good for your body but you're. not really when you provide lower quality cities each. cylinder it cannot stop the

median of the mustang 18 from the natural and we're both very unhappy the simple act is completely one i can use no evil misleading you will each of us be deeply cut all of us by going to snoop and we financially them our society interest to couper more number 2 he. was really through the whole thing a fist of any i don't know how to read but when you. on august 29th 1949 the soviet union exploded its 1st nuclear bomb. the polygon proved to be the perfect test site. when you passed away and they promised p.p.s. here. something you took a look at there's a walkman at the ear off to get the seeing you chris at the top of the
9:06 pm
economy the one we just are in and when he can make up what you need to run your final solution for that he said i push through with very serious press release take years but he has their products here that was to the mostly a chain you. just hear me through what was said here. but those are more the i don't know stores to cut or are looking to do in the chess interest of what are sort of auschwitz i said you were but yes because i saw us we should switch laying their gear. he would sum it up here because the. 3 were into a couple who are on year poor medial schooling him. across the probably doesn't mean year so here are you on the phone not a number of dismissal near the impetus we're going to see you go i just missed it

9:08 pm
if you're remiss but it is a quick look at your. if you do pretty well. but only look at look at the stupid what which actually what you. look. the cancer people are still pondering many better questions at what point did soviet leaders understand that their nuclear testing was poisoning the local population. did they attend to the vergers or the kazakhs merely guinea pigs in the quest to produce weapons of mass destruction. during the 1950 s.
9:09 pm
same down the chernoff was the chief radiologist in the soviet union's ministry of health he was sent to the polygon as a government representative he remembers meeting with soviet officials on one particular day in 1957 last by michel it worked as a political question through. brittania but what. there are many of the young we traded by got their richard credit gun that they did you got but it's time it would be really fun i think by way but more and more that yeah you might appear . the nurse was in the machine or they got the aftermath of the mullah evolved but disregard act of congress that is but then you look at publix the. slaughter fish can annie. guest a pretty many. a good they're going to look at guinea again the lawyers the valar
9:10 pm
the move was new to. get back when you were a dear. for you in your ears james that city year. dr brown chernoff was finally signed to head a medical team investigating the effects of radiation on thursday in the public eye . serious health problems from anemia to high incidence of cancer schizophrenia which sometimes resulted in suicide and cover. the report was duly sent to moscow and then disappeared. dr brown was forbidden by law from traveling anywhere near the polling on. the years go by there was next to me. are you only me i think overly yes or a bit shaped is it that. in the 1950 s. a research institute with
9:11 pm
a large staff of medical experts was set up in sydney pellet in school to study the effects of exposure to nuclear contamination. and there's an illicit broach of abuse it was the discipline set in them which did it. really kill this just in the in the bill is a little to. gain your blue vision them stalkers you could get them. see me post abusive with them to do it for the sheer good that of water. they were there but the school and it was the same year. of chicken i would get over that says dish that i will watch insidious and suck you know off the emmy. abortive see has come so use if they are going to put up with another one of them put on near. the cookie for process. will go to double that lead you like you scared bernie it's
9:12 pm
a center that seriously pretty serious can say use it over. not just need a bigger chance here that is plenty. but machine literature does the muck you couldn't you had it the time is still the really critical mass. dr goose event his team also traveled to the villages near the polygon they found serious illnesses particularly long and breast cancers which had been very rare until the nuclear testing. years later he studied a sample of the infected population. and other gifts because of what they were mr smith goes to the ceiling with at the group a go at it a year most nights to well you know with enough joyously that all of the girls which in you. gave you have to divide the world as a percentage the copy of the divide as it was so that the go where possible in your security way the. doctor uses team are provided with sophisticated equipment to
9:13 pm
diagnose the disease it's caused by radiation contamination and they kept good records which were sent to the soviet authorities but how did this research benefit the villagers. to. the u.s. they yell or. so that you didn't cheat that they are put through it is that you that the clues are almost that so many people actually just get milledgeville so thirst would go to absolute they're willing. to 90 way and leave the meaning yet even though it was there when the a pit bull the girl there leach here they certainly have a dorea produce if your dog immediately was there when he bought it we're going to see video it is a slow cooked or mirror what it that the body on study of see what it was it will see it but the more thought emotion of sort of ehrlich the tory it's they all see
9:14 pm
record a good in the 70 and. it wasn't just cancer villages were treated as human guinea pigs. ordinary suited soldiers were also victims of their government's relentless determination to produce weapons of mass destruction. the suspect then you get a lot of that is that all your denials truthful moral is serious and that he should just say gets into a little bit of the. i'm almost still deeply in. the dark i mean the from the get the the idea that we needed to win but i would give it is but then you can but they just give a little chair it's. just not stir the pot so much not all but no paula we wouldn't miss to do good or for the other way but of the moment but the only your news roof. which was the lights

9:21 pm
saudi arabia those are the headlines rewind continues next on al-jazeera stay with us. in 1963 the united states and the soviet union signed a test ban treaty which prohibited the explosion of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere. if you just get over. a span. i took to. be very deceptive. very accurate. atmospheric explosions ceased at the polygon but that didn't mean nuclear testing
9:22 pm
halted it simply moved underground. 340 bombs were exploded in the bowels of the polly don't. know but you made the point yet at the core are still human just vadar but xemu what it is i'm a chast there. is a last bullets logic others are well yeah they're no bomb over braswell are addictively immune thing you would years roll a bill a creature. any minute you diminished when he put it into parts. you had only one of
9:23 pm
a. kind of they are staunchly with more than weird and. others in his wallet. but on his heart mike what more and more often there are just as good phone shifted all of the 9 i need in what i read there. school installments. says you wouldn't because what it also what the thunder feel new what whatsoever oh but when you see me of supporters of the leafy woodlawn went to the table with i didn't astonish any of the knee.
9:24 pm
that's in there was a study with a shock to the man with a deep question mr what is an obvious level is that when that adjustable. foot of the cutter in the bridge in their time i thought them there was a lot of that is really. a leper the more you are still new but then i get nothing when you get to do a test let's kill him for what that'll will do which is a bit interesting but silly at that. and asking you to leave is the biggest mistake the nice thing is to actually teach. these deucedly depressed me scott. to live in or. does it.
9:25 pm
sit with his lee. does your business to mobile or the building was too unless he. doesn't with the sub akki yes the cheers to that. nest answer. son seat. during the month of course no longer middle register. i know you talked into what messed me up with him but i'm just as we're going to flip over this wrong and will look forward and force you back trouble before something but i'm for the good job a mess going to cause me to want to disconnect but so it better to michigan when i'm going to register so i see you so i can come to the company and congress are going to through should be between 2 parties who are to.
9:26 pm
let it big. chunk of the to do their. very good. one are. the greatest tragedy the kazakh people face is the ill health of their children. the dire effects of the radiation contamination are seeping down from one generation to another. him a. year. but that doesn't. know most.
9:27 pm
of. the presidents upon the streets. everybody approving would you decide that buccaneer because of. the geneva women you're going to spit on. this back in an image. but you know go a little ditty but you will not that no go to war the 1st dallas interstates east islam will see hasn't told us how to kill them is put on the radio i don't need it you know. just made in this we have new media where. the clip gives you who are going to submit it. to give you some it is strictly
9:28 pm
a store and here is just in the ready down which here it's not merely one of them is below on the no no it is just an average in their new initiatives the same one this is the way that i would. say it was this year very good company and of. the case of the sort of middle of the tech there was a way it supports a sector in the survey had some at each given what it said so much it came with that stoppard center period they had subpoenas that took a question only to pursue the path and i mean it's a strange claim and if it's a consistent hands of attached supplies and they meet and revitalization of a thief scam even if it's going to take in my own history to see hasn't taken thomas and hidden but a mum. east coast of syria
9:29 pm
civilian finest recently in civil union clearly citizens resisting political have faces and you've just recently causing me. my postage scanning mia into position but it's caught on the steep inescapable process that in his persistent click on a. group conviction says ok order to deceive. the nanny red kryptonite. and blog on the initial raudonikis to see who is really. truth dejected a quick question that is just their honest necessity you're a democratic strategist said ask over there at the taco bell neighbor take you over . to the city to call any of the. most of the
9:30 pm
started as they should. but one which has now been a blue chip flint by militant adam who has. more muscle than walter mondale blue or the author just died lord and that was one of life's most involved want to just watch what was just. want to just i just pulled him will get chills just talk or. want to tell the world. well don't you know uncle yells out all that quickly get. all of them one get the 12 that cannot or need to go on more of the case just which i'm. sure you. probably read through single media gives a flea. market. of
9:31 pm
more than just a friend. this was a little education dollars for. the military a prison. in canada. i saw them a strong national political you get to bustling in years to give me your name because i started to nationally school became. a shape as a believer mr bush both of us believe unitarian us. you know sort of took over you wouldn't sleep with bill and mr you still. are of course which is a state next year with mr. bush will cut loose leaf thank you because i should. pull it off by being objection whether there was a just. because i start a clock or i'd not put him there was that i was away for the upset when i'm drunk that the children should get a couple years because of a certain posters look at the start of a sudden a civil social cause last but also to promotion of the you're pushing the got
9:32 pm
greedy permission i was going to see on the atmosphere is that if you are going to secure 37 yards when they look at what the quit the course just because of that one so i have come to go cause. it's in my sleep if you buy your motors they should formulate it at the video and you probably gonna cut it all more usually assuming that i see what it was useful simple that's completely gone. soviet officials have long blamed the poor health of the polygon villagers on anything but exposure to nuclear contamination. it was the fault of poor diet inadequate sanitation a harsh climate and the faulty genes of the kazakh people from time immemorial and
9:33 pm
her kashagan of us is a kazakh filmmaker who in 1900 confronted soviet officials with the facts about the polygon. that still going up by the book. it seems to temper is what it is now that the 70s it didn't but then most any on your eye when you put it so when you. look to those to know. this attitude has not changed much in the russia of today he really did pass of is a senior radio chemist in st petersburg what years later here bust through it like years ago at the object like you've got my dear it would look like here's a question for you that all you. or news is news when you see news i would have probably idea believe. the kazakstan government hands are barely adequate pensions
9:34 pm
small payouts and free health care to the victims of radiation contamination. but the russians categorically refuse to accept any responsibility for the poisoning of the people of the polygon. in february 1800 rumors spread to underground tests of the polygon that exploded into the atmosphere. the kazakh population growth harmed. slim enough is a beloved kazakh poet is a beast here everything others will never. see but that most of us see it you're going to get damaged goods even if the us is the only see him. yes let us carry the chip as leverage in the movie screw what you've learned.
9:35 pm
it's quite. soon the men are called a public meeting we don't know about your. beer but if it will. not get over it it won't be argued. that. you would dump. me give me. a good week that also says. serious political the whole. damn list get a read on. a key be it the biggest astley. asleep still. in the ceiling. business you would be a good new board because if doesn't work effect each only to play the movement towards democracy in the soviet union facilitated the nationwide protest. all the signs. are. here with cars only
9:36 pm
at the idlers a dumb decision a quote deal with discussed on local book need only choice. good. luck good honest citizens movement to a successful in 1990 on nuclear testing ceased in the polygon of kazakstan. in 1902 soon after independence from the soviet union the country became a nuclear free cell. done in the past a lot of the sudden. however the horror has not gone away. the. levels of radiation in some parts of the holy ghost remain 10 times higher than normal. combat yeah but idealist yet again why did you pick up. a brunette speaking. but i watching it was so quiet again at
9:37 pm
a party played. out of my life. now we're at the mom the premier year. bill is a postcard a reward iyam of what a slog home like. you got me granted sometimes not coming. when you guys are but using your method i'm just the money. doesn't follow doesn't close on to the original thought of all the rest of you took the world all over the world in the. sight of a lot of the people to love the. hours almost similar. come to the one looking to. be with them leave you only. to meet the other worst of symbols
9:38 pm
of. the some lonely this. devotion is. yours are a little zillion masturbate could probably similar of the mr. well i don't know. scars and will call them up her chair. and way to sit but it's of them to quit. and wish.
9:39 pm
9:40 pm
silent bombs a disturbing reminder of the long term consequences of nuclear testing but since that film to add a new field of research has emerged as a member i mentioned the north korean nuclear test at the start of this program the one which registered as the equivalent of a 6.3 magnitude earthquake well it wasn't a natural earthquake of course but just 8 minutes later and a little over 5 kilometers away there was another earthquake a real one measuring 4 point one real in the sense that it wasn't a bomb but it definitely wasn't natural it's what's known as a human induced earthquake and there are a lot more of them then you might think and we're going to discuss that now with professor julian folger who's compiled
9:41 pm
a database of more than $700.00 quakes which were probably caused by human activity professor it's a pleasure to have you with us can you talk me through that. 2nd earthquake which i described there in north korea iran and what it was this earthquake which was 8 minutes afterwards it could have been simply a geological fault that had been induced to slip or it could possibly have been implosion of the huge cavity that's formed by the test it's well known that this occurs it's been observed many times for example at the nevada test site with american nuclear testing and following these tests there's such a disruption of the local stress fail that swarms of earthquakes often occur what's been to your knowledge the biggest of these human induced earthquakes the biggest earthquake which has been proposed on scientific grounds to have been human induced is the 2008 magnitude 7.9 when trying
9:42 pm
a quake in the people's republic of china. this has been proposed to have been triggered started off by filling a reservoir locally and because of the nature of earthquakes they just require a little jog to set them going and then they can just keep on normal and develop into a big earthquake and that is is possibly what happened on this occasion. so then how careful do we as humans now need to be if this is you so you've got a database of 700 of these potential quakes what do we need to be thinking about more when building things or living off explosions or whatever it might be how how much more careful do you think we have to be everybody i think was surprised at the huge range of activities that can induce earthquakes and these include mining selling reservoir's building toll buildings extracting gas and oil and i could go
9:43 pm
on and on so when we build a big project we have a mine we have a reservoir we explore in oil or gas or just the reservoir or something like this of course there's great economic benefit but there's always a downside there industrial accidents there are road accidents there's environmental damage in this kind of thing and we now realise that there can can also be induced earthquakes and this needs to be added to the portfolio of health and safety hazards that should be managed whenever a big project is undertaken do you think hydro schemes need to be perhaps rethought i mean they are a. very popular way of generating energy you'll see you know hydrologic dams all over the world but do we need to rethink that sort of. scheme there's definitely a case for including seismic monitoring equipment when a dam is built in the reservoirs impounded and also doing geological investigations
9:44 pm
to assess what the seismic risk might be so where in the world are you seeing this issue the most is that i mean i think of earthquakes i think of somewhere like california or for example japan well. one would have to say oklahoma because the state of oklahoma in the united states. used to not be very seismically active atoll there were just a few earthquakes and very it was very rare that any of them try. told anybody. that because of the increase in the oil and gas operations there and also changes in strategies such as injecting large amounts of waste water. to homer has gone from being completely off the map when it comes to earthquakes to being more seismically active than california is funny do you get any pushback professor from your research people saying not just not true 1st of all i'd like to get on the
9:45 pm
radar screen. quite database is completely freely available to everybody from w w w dot induced earthquakes dot org but what we think loaded in it is not just earthquakes or earthquake sequences that were absolutely 100 percent certain were induced by human activity we've included everything that has been proposed on scientific grounds so the database comes with a caveat emptor or that here's the database here's everything that's been published and it's up to you to make your own decision about whether you believe this or that case professor jim involves or what a fascinating topic and i'm really glad we could talk to you about it thank you so much for your time it was a pleasure kemal thank you and that is it from us to join us again next week and also check out the rewind page out as a result com for more films from the series i'm come on santa maria thanks for joining us see you again soon.
9:46 pm
in 2008 rocky ahmad traveled across the united states discovering what it was like to be both a patriotic american and a devout muslim can he be muslim and america you have to be american 1st i didn't have much appreciation for why it would be a big deal that a muslim to be elected to the united states congress. rewind islam and america on al-jazeera. the west and sponsored by cattle and ways. hello again welcome back to

support forces he's also the deputy leader of the transitional military council or t.m.c. that's been in charge of sudan since president omar bashir was deposed in april and may tease actions in darfur lead to the international criminal court to issue an arrest warrant for share on a war crimes charges when i joined on the news are by al jazeera as mohamed a vile who has just recently returned from khartoum he was there covering the protests until of course there was prevented to do so by the military council a number of factors involved here we talked about the rapid support forces the military council what do these actors have in common and what relationship do they have with the military establishments in sudan. the. difference force was completely a militia acting in darfur until recently they were brought to call to. the former

president to protect him against the against what he perceived to be a threat from the city it was true of course a lot of violent protests was not bloody violent as the people did not use arms against the military but thought of that as danger against him so he brought. to use him again he used it used for against civilians and he tried to use him again against. billions in capital to claim the tooth used to put an order from the chute to open fire on civilians and that's how he got some of the popular legitimacy you know after after the coup but that has now disappeared has now spoiled that completely because now he is working hand in hand with the military from inside moving from inside the military headquarters using the same equipment and sometimes using the military but in civilian uniform in police uniform and also his own troops in civilian uniform or in police uniform to crackdown if. you say were

brought in by the share who then is pulling the strings in the background who ordered the crackdown on protesters as i told you he'd he turned against i want to shoot at a certain stage and he claimed that why he turned against the shoot was because i want to shoot told him we can kill a 3rd of the population so that we can can be in peace and he couldn't but he refused that and he decided to stage a coup against i want to shoot in coordination with the top man in the military now who is a war hunt so this is a joint a joint venture between the top leaders of the military i'm not talking about the junior officers very top leaders of the military because we saw earlier in your heart to today images of some members of the military so on jurists and protesters comforting each other which seems to suggest perhaps that regular army that some within the army may not support this crackdown of course the top and on april 6th

remember the reason why the protesters were able to sit in in front of the military headquarters was because a junior officers they decided to protect them against the security forces of omar bashir and that's how they were able to sit in one place and stay there for about 2 months and that's how the top leaders decided or found that it is now time for them it is a possibility. opened for them to stage a coup against one bashir so the junior officers in the military have defended the civilians on april 6th and now there is hope among this within these people particularly among the trees but it will happen again either there will be large asians within the usa but that could be very dangerous exactly exactly and there are fears on the one hand that this could lead to civil war you know army against army but also there is hope that if they can control the situation if the junior officers can control the situation and other qualities for all democracy then probably that will be what the people of sudan want they want to get rid of the new

leaders that will in hearing from your sources on the ground law made as far as what the next move from protests is will be we've heard of course this call for a civil disobedience campaign to continue but given the brutality of the crackdown that we've seen where the protesters heed that call because it's extremely dangerous for them is it not actually 2 things happened today the leaders of the protests were hesitant to launch an ongoing civil disobedience remember the stage 2 days of civil stark and now today they have decided that this is the beginning they decided this is the beginning and we have see the results we have seen the airport is closed there are no if no civil aviation to day out there are faults of khartoum and some of the you know doctors in some of the hospitals or so no they came there only to help the to treat the wounded in some other establishments it's
10:00 pm
a nationwide strike now and it's a nationwide civil disobedience announced officially today by the leaders of the protest and you know that has been instigated by the action of the military today saw 2 things up i told about told you about 11 of those the other thing is that until now we had only. that problem in inside the city itself. but with the action taken this morning the military has actually dispersed the city in. other cities so instead of one place in front of the army headquarters easily controlled or easily morning told by the military no they have forced this fred force them to spread it across the streets and that would have seemed to be interesting to see how it unfolds and of course we're hoping that they'll be less bloodshed certainly not as intense as it was earlier today now earlier also we spoke to who was an eyewitness. hospital which is close to the main protest site.
