algis 0. 1000 the time is 0600 g.m.t. on al-jazeera i'm come out santa maria and these are the headlines prominent approach democracy activists are due to be sentenced in hong kong today after pleading guilty to unlawful assembly during last year's protests just where one was taken into custody last month along with 2 other campaign is they could face up to 3 years in jail in other news u.s. attorney general william barr says the justice department has not found version fraud on a scale that could change the outcome of last month's presidential election his comments to the associated press contradict president trump's unsubstantiated

claims that the whole vote was rigged and supporters from alan fischer william barr got the job as america's top law enforcement officer because he was loyal 'd to donald trump no the president might be questioning that loyalty just hours before a routine meeting at the white house the u.s. attorney general told the associated press he couldn't back up the president's claims of widespread voter fraud in 2020 saying we've not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election. william barr became attorney general after jeff sessions was sacked donald trump didn't think he was loyal enough during the days of the investigation into alleged russian interference in the $26000.00 election since he took over bar has often been accused of acting more as trump's top lawyer rather than america's has the part of justice court involved in cases involving trump our allies it dropped charges against former national security advisor michael flynn even though he had method lying to f.b.i.

agents and it intervened in the sentencing of course trump roger steward. attorney general barr also announced the findings of the miller prove into russia interference but was accused of misrepresenting the final results to make his boss lose a better investigation did not establish that members of the trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the russian government in its election interference activities i am sure that all americans share my concern about the efforts of the russian government to interfere in our presidential election a concern aired by robert mueller himself but there was a growing rift between the white house and the department of justice donald trump wanted a pre-election investigation into barack obama and joe biden on the rules in the russia probe an f.b.i. announcement into hillary clinton's e-mails weeks before the 26th you know election gave him a boost he was hoping it would be the same again but had nothing to work with and

couldn't deliver just weeks ago the man in charge of election cyber security said the 2028 presidential was the most secure in america's history that angered the president who claims without evidence that the election was stolen from him so he fired his official. when news of buyers comments hit capitol hill other suspected what might be coming in response to attorney general bill barr i guess he's the next one to be fired since he now too says there is no fraud. trump's legal team says there's been no substantial department of justice investigation into any allegations of voter fraud the vine covered b.c. they have substantial evidence of wrongdoing in 6 states evidence they've yet to make public or present in court alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house a few more headlines and a panel from the u.s. centers for disease control is recommending front line workers and nursing home

hello and welcome once again to rewind i'm come on santa maria. zuber english back in 2006 and in the more than a decade since then we've built up a library of award winning documentaries here on rewind where revisiting some of the best of them and looking at how the story has moved on. today the threat of nuclear war is once more on the table with north korea carrying out a series of missile launches in recent months and back in september news emerged of

an underground nuclear test in north korea which registered the equivalent of a 6.3 magnitude earthquake kim jong un's north korea is the only country to have carried out nuclear tests this century after the u.n. passed a resolution banning testing back in 1906 but the terrible legacy of testing is still being felt more than 5000 kilometers away beyond mongolia or northern china over a 40 year period we're talking 949989 soviet union exploded 460 nuclear bombs in eastern. about 200000 villages living near the test site were exposed to high levels of radiation often deliberately and the effects of the testing program have been passed down and intensified in generations born decades later today we are rewinding to 2009 and silent bombs a film by jerry sperling who traveled to council to document the human cost of

nuclear tests. for centuries horse has been being loved by the catholic people. very simple and the central asian step. but for decades now a dark cloud has hung over the spirit people. between 1949 and 1900. exploded almost $500.00 nuclear bombs only miles from their villages and a test site called polly la. jolla. all of this to me and those. who say good. song good looking good clean those the ball of the.

sea is their will over the summer boy. oh boy in the. fall or winter doesn't know they're getting the best of them. but it's possible. it could try to wash up caught up on a lot lot lot mcguinn was a pretty good book but i know you didn't get it but it. forthwith. well. that's going to. wipe out a lot. so little that cook is among that. truck

liquidity into. that hospital. just because of. what. hold off the good. times. that. i was on i've not seen bush tax cuts be chopped. just one piece tara can not solve. in the way you. better stand just for that one see on tickin premiums. shafts of christian court.

it was inevitable that the health of the people who live so close to the nuclear blasts would deteriorate doctor saw dramatic increases in the blood pressure miscarriages skin diseases breast cancer throat cancer and diseases memory loss mental retardation and physical deformities. that you were too late you. already were early he would. be good but. i don't. think you get what your career while all that. can are. really running for the shooters rushers. are you going to bring your special struggle to you that is richer. than most of us for the most astute looking jurors and the way it. is just

a portrait of them but it isn't the owner it is. sammy cressy that's. my sister there but i. told her only as soon. well because that man i knew right because that creates it more than it. it's a different school to kowtow to. his presence in the committed an. arsonist when they were doing a show of its front yard treasure. when they get to do $200.00 a torch. and sort of presume grimstone bit of just. trying to get her to some of those on the ground there who are going to control.

one more. question as that's a one movie plot. it's on the whole chain yes sits in the. east. palace that the chest the but. you. know this. will. ship will just yet people. the party will get to this question. asked. much more.

to do much. to do this last thing. the mother of god or us human or in a god like eucharist or if it's a. people's king or other. even a settlement or mention a savior you understand that you. don't know how much you say or sasha. he would get unstuck either so his yet has she got. into.

it was necessary of course for both superpowers to continually test their nuclear arsenal the big question was where should this be done. soviet union leaders quickly zeroed in on kazakstan it's a huge country the 9th largest in the world with a sparse population of only 15000000 people a region the size of building in the northeast part of calixto the city and so many politicians was selected. it was called the polygon. 'd which a star or them. at the water of. center.

i should probably. just. order but had yeah sure. sure. there's a clear bill the order in there with it or did it orally or what but you more because it started with your grow might need to do a serious go say use it arms or the law was more sophisticated o'gara it the sticky who of mr moore they do it with a pretty good stewardship don't need again you go in the out of their way to see the puzzles nitwit suitable as deal or that a tough. stance at the lift owed him a bill question. certainly if the only piccoli 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 public. that it wouldn't work with. you well 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. the leisure time we must carry and maybe the simple life is complete when i can use the evil nestle new will each of us be deeply cut all of us by our going to need tolka and we financially them our society

interest to couper more he went out to the. police was silly and threw the whole thing a festering year i don't know how but when you. on august 29th 1949 the soviet union exploded its 1st nuclear bomb. the polygon proved to be the perfect test site. going to bust and when they promised p.p.s. hear. something new to look at there's a walkman at the ear off to get the seeing you chris at the top of the economy the one we just don't know when he can make up a. good idea to shoot for that if he set up a push through with that we see a press release take years but he has the air products here that was to the mostly young chain you. see me though it was said here. but those are more

at the edges and i was toast for the torah open to do on the chess engine so what i thought of auschwitz was that you or other us could sort us bullshit. in their gear. he would sum it up here. so we were into a couple who are on year poor mitchell schooling him. across the probably arthur meany air show here are you on the phone not noble of this nice little name the impetus we're going to see you go i just missed it moment years ago at that exact thing they would look at it that bullet for thier secret out goof i see of best democrat poison put on here please at the moment it's when i'm up and she knew. you could get them by then you cause i've been dealing nationally you want.

they split a lot of a ball about that i mean only gable here but the edge and they are registered together they have covered him a. really. good result. but you. must not really when you. because it is. just. really where young has come under. you believe particularly. if you're remiss but it is a quick look at. you but you. only look at. what you. what you. look.

the kazakh 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. same down the cutoff 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 michelle it worked as

a political question for. brittania but what should one. of the young we've got there. richard. delude you could put a stop me with people early but i spy a way but more in with that yeah you might appear the nurse who was in the machine they got the aftermath of the mullah evolved but this we've got act of congress that is but then you look at public should. split a slaughter fish can any. guest a pretty many. good they're going to look at gaining. the law as the vote as a bold move was not. when you worry dear. for you in your years james that city year. dr brown chernoff was finally signed to head

a medical team investigating the effects of radiation on 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 bao. 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 a large staff of medical experts was set up in sydney pellet in school to study the effects of exposure to nuclear contamination. and this willis brought you a book seriously just consider the message did it. really kill this just in the in the bill is a little too good. vision

i'm still basically at them. simply has to be a share with them to do it for the sheer good that of water. but biskra and it has the same year. of chicken a book that i would it says dish that i will watch insidious and suck you know off the image. but what if he has come see use if they are going to get the little ones and put them on near st. nick you for process. nuts will go to double that. lead you like you scare bunny it's a center that there is deeply serious can say use it of. that not just need a bigger chance here that is plenty to it and secondly the machinery it's literature there's the muck you couldn't you have it the time is still the really

critical mass. dr gooses and 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 where 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 to do that but the gossip the chain you. give you have to devote as a petition to the cup we'll provide as a player so that the guy we're closer than in your security way the. doctor uses team are provided with sophisticated equipment to 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 yes they yell or. so that charity cheat that they are put through it is that

that particular loser almost a celebrity just didn't need it you'll see 1st moved out of the absolute they were live. to 90 way and leave the meaning yet even though it was there when the a pit bull the girl their lead here they say leave the editorial producer of your dog to mean it was it about a book you got going to see video it is a slow cooked or mirror what at the very on study of the war it was a good will see it but the more thought emotion of sort of ehrlich the tory blitz they all see recorded 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 you did was truthful all syria and he just said it said that as it were but it is 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 but it's given little chair it's. 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 robot the only your news roof. which was delighted some of those money up us kissed you when you watch and that's only for others of us prefer d.d. about rough the mushroom and me we human you make you work that's what the machine you're so pretty you but the extra much you know when is are you mature live where

the board grows to be measurably or what some of us comportment call a blue. print for you to do to. you to smooth with them when you're. nearer make you glad. you should the way or the gloves are. gone when you got up to get some more to do for. problem vause reports genially you your way so that would be good just been said are going to stay in is that all the excel that. system we did in those us that. in the dealing need there's a new with them deal of don't store which it is a good visit of can bring in chester with them straight on yes. it is clear that. there are going is that support but there is no excel that.

the new in jealous just become but i wish that here. for me lear. that you begin using wouldn't believe doesn't. talk. to doesn't mean you know brushless prison. should book. london is one of the most important cities in the world and the citizens made here have an impact right around the globe and so here at al-jazeera we will show you the true impact of those decisions on people but how it affects their everyday lives. we are free to put them on air and to really engage those stories because we know there are audiences interested not just in the mainstream news but also the

more hidden stories from parts of the world that often go on the reported. 2900. 4th bolivia's 1st indigenous president since right style has considered his future and hope to return his party rallied behind new candidates with a tense new election drawing close in late 2020 people in power went behind the scenes to see if the indigenous movement could pull off a remarkable comeback when live in exile will return on al-jazeera in the light of the open seas hides a dark secret. men forced to work without pay in slave. budget glimmer of hope remains for the forgotten fisherman as a group of activists delve deep into the illegal fishing industry demanding justice . and freedom to. go street

a witness documentary on al-jazeera. to. part 2 of rewind coming up in a moment but 1st a check on the headlines and a prominent pro-democracy activists in hong kong are due to be sentenced after pleading guilty to unlawful assembly during last year's protests among them joshua wang who was taken into custody last month there are 2 other campaigners as well they could face up to 3 years in jail. for the headlines u.s. attorney general william barr says the justice department's found no evidence of widespread voter fraud in last month's election president legal team has accused the justice department of failing to do enough to investigate its allegations more from alan fischer in washington before the election bill barr was saying the vote

fraud could well be caused by mail in ballots but now he's saying we've looked at this and there's no widespread evidence of voter fraud that goes completely against what the president has been seeing even in the last couple of hours if you're tweeting you know more people who are suggesting that there is widespread voter fraud in the election was stolen from donald trump you'll remember just a couple of weeks ago the man who was the head of the cyber security unit for the election said this was the most secure election in american history donald trump said yeah that was because of my administration but still stolen from us and by the way you're fired. we have headlines a panel from the u.s. centers for disease control is recommending front line workers and nursing home residents should get the coronavirus vaccination 1st those states and other local authorities will be the ones to decide brazil's unveiled its plan for vaccinating nearly 110000000 people more than half its population indigenous people health workers and those aged 75 and above will be top of the lists israel's alternate

prime minister and current defense minister benny gantz says his party will back an opposition bill in favor of dissolving parliament that move could force israel's 4th election in less than 2 years. united nations is almost a quarter of a 1000000 people have now died in yemen's war now a group so warning the humanitarian crisis is getting worse tens of thousands of children are at risk of dying to acute malnutrition and the ethiopian government says a senior politician links to the to people's liberation front has surrendered to federal forces prime minister abu ahmed is claimed victory in the month long conflict over the northern region however today and leaders say that conflict is not yet. as we say part 2 of rewind is coming up and then adrian finnegan with your next news bulletin. in 1963 the united states and the soviet union signed

a test ban treaty which prohibited the explosion of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere. but future schiphol mr bush just. finishing. a sphere to cuba. i took to. be here to help carry it. for iraq which is very accurate. atmospheric explosions ceased at the polygon but that didn't mean nuclear testing halted it simply moved underground. 340 bombs were exploded in the bowels of the polygon. no but you made the point yet at the poorest usual last vadar but xemu what it is

i'm a chest that. is a mass ballistic ship others are wily i don't know bomb over braswell or addictively immune thing you would years roll a bullet pretty. much any minute you diminished when he put it into but. you have only one of a. kind of they are staunchly with more than we're going. to see his mullah.

put on his heart might want more and more of it there were just as good phone shifted all article one i need in what i read there. school instruments. says she wouldn't because what all sides of the thunder feel knew what was a row but when you see me of supposedly free will and went to the table with i didn't astonish any of any. that's in there was a study with a shock to the man with a deep question mr what is an area of levers that are on the chest level. what of the cutter in the bridge in their time i thought i'm illiterate mother of the degree the subject. lepani more you are still new but they're not yet nothing will

get to do a test let's kill him through what awful world do we. put in there that is the least. and that's new to me is the biggest mistake in this thing is to actually take. these do seriously past me. to wonder what. does it. say with his li. got nervous got that there's a business to mobile left the building was too unless he. doesn't with the. yes the chairs to that. he asked us a. fun seat here's

a. gentleman just putting down any further you must of course no longer the middle of the register. i'm going to get talked into what messed me up for people around here says we're going to trip over this rolling wall looking for more and more so you better hold the phone company but i'm for the good job a mess going to cause me to want to disconnect but so it better to when you say you're going to iraq you're so sorry you so i think. there's something in congress are going to through should be people to produce you or to. let it big.

chunk of this out there to do their. very good. what are the things that. 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 they. are just your government that doesn't. know most admit it yet. it appears upon the streets to. divide your crew it would you do set the record in your closet of.

the geneva women yet the list that you. just back in an image. but only ditty petunias that no good word of us dallas interstates are easier hasn't told us ridiculous put on your idea. that you know when you believe. in this we have needed where. the clip gives you who are going to submit it. to give you some it is to get a store and here is just in the coastal town which you know it's not merely one of them is below on the no no it is just in there pretty near the new initiatives that same one this is the way that i would. say it was this year the rigged

company and of. the kids of the sort of middle of a tech there there is a way it's a participatory and as a web summit each given water same somebody. stop at center today or subpoenas that . took a question only to pursue the path and i mean. to say shame on a defeated them sustain hands of not touch the members of the press and the meter militarization of a thief scam even if it's going to take in my own history to see hasn't gotten thomas and hidden but a mum. i wish list of syria civilian vias years and i believe i am clearly so arsonists resisting political have to sit on you for 3 smelly cause and make me. my postage scanning me i'm in your position but it's got on the steep inescapable process that in his persistent click on a. group

conviction says ok order to deceive. us than any related groups in the rain. and blog on the initial raudonikis to see who is really. truth dejected a quick question it is just that honest necessity you're a democratic strategists because i discovered that rather talk over. the take you over. to the civil colony of the. model of the started as they should. be one which has. been the blue chips minute by minute and others who have. more muscle than want to

lose my spot on the blue or don't want to just die in the war that was one of life's most funny war want to just not support the war just. want to just not support him we'll just super just all talk or. want to kill the world. with the engine oncology of our all out quickly as. barton is the 12 that cannot hold neutral on his district. seriously you. probably have to single me to give you simply. must be a. lot more than just for me. this was a little education for all of us you're. the only a prisoner. in canada. i stood in a strong national political you had to bustling in years to give me your name

because i started to nationally school became zeus' to shreds as a believer mr bush with us by unitarian as. you know sort of took over you wouldn't sleep with bill and mr still. are of course which is a state next year of mischief reduction. which will cut almost you thank you because i should. put it off by being the generation where there was just. because i started like i did not but you know what it was about it i did upset when i moved from the film should get a couple years because of the posters that look at the start of a source going to see the social customs but also the promotion of it you are pushing the greedy permission i was going to see on the atmosphere is that if you are going to secure side yet they yield what the quit the quest for just because of that one so i have come to go cause. it's in my sleep if you buy your motivation

for me to wear it at the video you probably gonna cut it all not usually assume that i see what it was usefully 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 her kashagan of us is a kazakh filmmaker who in 1900 confronted soviet officials with the facts about the polygon. that sydney morning out of the book.

it seems to dump it is what it is now that they're 7 is it to me but i'm most i me or me at all. but it's all 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 if god my dear it would look back here's a question for you that are all you. can imagine or news is news when you see news i would have probably idea believe. the kazakstan government hands are barely adequate pensions 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. us silliman off is a beloved kazakh poet is based here everything others will never. see but that most of us says you're going to get damaged goods even if the us is that it's here. yes let us agree which it is little work in the least 3 what you've learned. it's quite. soon the men are called a public meeting we don't know about your. beer we think well. good luck there it won't be argued. that. it

would done. much good if we. could we could also see the serious political him. coming down the list get a read on. a key be it the biggest astley office needs to. be less skilled in. business he would be a good new board could could have started what effect teach him. to play the movement towards democracy in the soviet union facilitated the nationwide protest good all the. good good honest. good whiskas only at the bottom decision your quit 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 little the sun. however the horror has not gone away. levels of radiation in some parts of the holy ghost remain 10 times higher than normal. the bad yeah but idealist yet again why did you pick up. a book in that city. as i did up there watching it was so quiet again at a party played. out of my lap. do you know now would you be at them in the premier year. what is a postcard your reward iyam of what a slug oh my god. you got me granted sometimes not coming. when you deliver but

using your method of just the money. doesn't follow doesn't close on to a little news to a lot of all of us do not get to do it all over the world in the. australian all over the last year but a lot of the. hour was almost similar. to the of. course we were to believe you only. to me the other worst of symbols of. this i'm alone with this. suede. devotion. we are sure that they're not a critic of these images of the mr. i don't know. any horse with

scars and will pull them up her chair. and wade should put into them to quit. and wish.

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 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 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. second 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 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 filling reservoirs building tall buildings extracting gas and oil and i could go on and on so when we build a big project we have a mine we have a reservoir we exploit an oil or gas or jet. thermal reservoir or something like this of course is 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 hydroelectric 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 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 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 a tall they were just a few earthquakes and very it was very rare that any of them troubled anybody. but because of the increase in the oil and gas operations there and also changes in strategy such as injecting large amounts of weight sporter oklahoma has gone from being completely off the map when it comes to earthquakes to being more seismically active than california just 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 radar screen. quite database is completely freely available to everybody from w w w dot induced earthquake. org but what we think coded 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 for us to join us again next week and also check out the rewind page at al-jazeera dot com for more films from the series i'm come on santa maria thanks for joining us so you can say. in 2008. traveled across the united states discovering what it was like to be both a patriotic american and a devout muslim can you be muslim and american you know how to be american 1st i
