a helicopters lying over the ridge spraying something and they didn't even see the kids. the kids were all fishing or just playing by the river. and the kids were all choking and gas when that night. they were all really sick with diarrhea. they were having trouble breathing. we went down to the river that next day and that's when we found dead ducklings and dead crayfish, dead trout. we called the forest service and they said, oh no, it's perfectly safe. it was a mixture of $240.00 and $2.00 for 5 t agent orange that was banned in vietnam. and nobody realised that the same chemicals were being used here in

clear cutting is one of the most insane things you could ever do. it's like strip mining a living organism which a forest is they weren't required to replant. and most of those clear cuts developed into huge brush fields then all of a sudden they're faced with this law that says you can't clear pat unless you replant within 3 years. so then they had to clear all the brush on these old clear cuts. so they could replant them and just all coincided with the end of the use of agent orange in vietnam.

michael newton from oregon state university was getting surplus barrels of agent orange that the air force couldn't use any more in vietnam and was praising the use of these things and how they were going to transform forestry forever. and they started to split blanket. these huge, clear current with larger major orange and drift. some we could smell it and her within a few days our garden was dead. the kids were all sick again and the dog got so sick he died. carol has been just a tireless champion for uncovering true, factual, scientifically based information and trying to get that for decision makers.

at the right of the stage of history. i sat for the 1st meeting between president eisenhower. i am, senator kennedy's has the language eisenhower passed over a national security apparatus to john kennedy. how scared we had to be that communism was on the march, and we had to stop it. wherever it was. kennedy loved the idea that american ingenuity, not just big, scary bombs, but different more surgical kinds of technologies could be used to defeat these insurgencies and agent orange or besides, in general, was part of that strategic view. the here at the dollar chemical company in midland michigan revolutionary chemical

killers are being produced to help rid us of these costly pass. one of the newest and most versatile weapons and dollars arsenal of chemical warfare is $24.00. dow, we'd killer to 4. d is a growth regulator type of we'd kill it. the action is illogical, appearing to upset the plants, growth processes and causing gradually, but certain death. the saigon government in 1961 was a vociferous proponents of the use of are besides in vietnam. the government was fighting a communist insurgency in the south that was supplied by the north. they felt that the insurgency was

a major threat to their existence. with an october 19. 61 thanks. haven't really gotten started yet. these are tell axis. it's a message from the ambassador noting, but basically just say present d m is begging people to spray crops. and there's so much doubt it confusion washington about whether to do this or not. ah

operation ranch and had multiple components to a food denial component. but the most notorious was the use of agent orange to take away the forest cover. take away the insurgents. capability to hide and conduct gorilla ambush operations but once the overall war escalated, the de felicia program just sort of followed rather mindlessly right behind it. spring, millions of gallons of highly concentrated per besides indiscriminately over vast areas of forest. many times over is chemical warfare. it was

highly destructive and it was massive. it was a weapon of mass destruction ah brain. shan was see dave for the herbicide to fully 8 program run by the air and i was sent over to vietnam and may of 1971 to do the final historical right up of the ranch and program i had made friends with the young army, lieutenant over there and he came to me one afternoon and said we have received orders from headquarter versus 1971. we are to jump to computer aeration,

not downloaded and shipped to wash. john t said, he said, if you want any of that information for your report, you're going to have to come with me to night and move over to mac v headquarters rally. get you into my office and will print them out. and he turned on the machine and we printed out a stack like that. my report indicated that that there were some real problems developing from people exposed to asian orange i finished my report and it was immediately clash, 5 secret. and the government kept it locked up or were 35 years and denied didn't even exist at the federal government, basically federalized all the chemical companies to do nothing but produce

a generic and other chemicals for the war to vietnam. and they knew that the more they produce, the more money they would me so they in order to deliver as much as they could as quickly as they could. they have violated then existing industry standards for the production of herbicides by using a process that was much shorter at higher temperatures. that was responsible for the presence of the, of the oxen and the ultimate chemical substances that were created. and they knew that it posed risk to individuals. they knew that opposed to risk to the land. they knew that it was contained to poison. and they knew that that the effects to be devastating. while i was preparing my report,

i came across the documents that indicated confirmed that we authorized production of the asian, ours, which is a mixture 24250524245 t with the higher concentration of di auction. as the contaminant had a contaminant in the 245 t compact, we knew di auction is an extremely potent carcinogenic mutagenic meaning it causes chromosomes to mutate. drat janet, affecting the fetus of a woman, very potent compound national bureau standards estimate and the half life for a dioxide molecule. 2000000000 years. that's why i e p a regards it as equivalent to clue tony. both in its toxicity and in its longevity,

how long can persist. so it doesn't go away. it goes away politically. this is the 1st time that the scientists have ever created a molecule, this toxic and, and that they, they know that even, you know, just one to 2 parts per trillion can cause birth defects, mutations, cancer, one ah, seeing a larger number, defects than we would've expected we saw a number of congenital hearts and i think it was 978. i delivered and, and, and safari child, that's

a child that doesn't have basically the normal brain. in my lifetime of delivering babies, i would not expect ever to see one. and about a year later, we delivered a 2nd and then select child. those odds were just astronomical that a small practice like ours would have to allen's valley children. it made me realize that there was something going on care about a pacific island nation, rapidly falling victim to rise in sea levels and to president skilfully commanding the stage of climate change. diplomacy, whom do we appeal to corolla, people's right to survive. and the challenge of clarity with can he secure a theater that he seemed to be stateless people?

what he's going to happen to us is going to be the fate of the rest. willful witness. and no one else is in. the corona virus has been indiscriminate in selecting its victims. it's devastating effects of plague, every corner of the globe, transcending class creed and color. but in britain, a disproportionately high percentage of the fallen have been black or brown skins. the big picture traces the economic disparities and institutional racism that is seen united kingdom fail, it citizens britain's true colors. part one on al jazeera, compelling. we keeping our distance because it's actually quite dangerous. ambulances continue to arrive at the explosion. inspire, i still don't feel like i actually know enough about what living under fascism was life, unequal to broadcasting. thumbnails have been august, i was born. happy al jazeera english proud recipient of the new york
