there are 16 remaining in detention, and 6 have been released. so that, that's the breakdown. they come from various un agencies, they're all national staff. it is imperative that they that they be release more on this with mike hannah at un headquarters in new york. well, the spokesman for the secretary general briefing journalist there he had just spoken at that particular time to you and security personnel in, at us about trying to get out exactly what had happened. now, what the u. n. does know at this point is that initially it would appear 22 people were arrested along with it. he said there dependence. now how many people that is, that is not clear either. now, subsequently, 6 of the you and workers were released either you and says that is engaging with ethiopian government, 1st of all, to get the rest released and also to find out exactly why these arrests took place

. now, there had been some reporting that these arrests took place in a wider round up of people supporting at the at t grey, a group of fighting against the ethiopian government. however, no confirmation of that. and that question was put directly to the un, which also could not confirm. so it is struggling. it says as well, with communications issues, very difficult to communicate with you in personnel on the ground in at us about about so detail still sketchy hours after that initial announcement. but un insists it's going to continue to press the ethiopian government for the release of its workers. in other news, poland, prime minister matters more of a key, has accused russia of being behind the wave of migrants trying to enter the country through billers. he says moscow's actions threaten e u. stability. analysts say the pledges countries have made at the cult $26.00 to

tackle climate change this decade would still lead to a $2.00 degrees celsius temperature rise this century, far more than the $1.00 degree limit. they've committed to round a $140.00 countries covering 90 percent of global emissions have announced targets to cut emissions, but the climate action track groups. as many of the pledges like practical detail and short term plans. we are making progress at cop 26. but we still have a mountain to climb over the next few days. and what has been collectively committed to go some way, but certainly not all the way to keeping 1.5 within reach. the gap in ambition has narrowed. now the world needs confidence that we will shift immediately into implementation, that the pledge is made here will be delivered, and that the policies and investment will swiftly follow. the top court in the u. s . state of oklahoma is overturned to $465000000.00 appeared,

a helicopters flying 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 gasoline 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. mm. 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

a still going on. mm. agent. orange was a tremendously destructive holland of the tremendously destructive war in its own unique way agent orange was the most destructive instance of chemical warfare in modern history. when i was still 5 years old or something, i read everything. it was still during the war and i read something about all the birds been killed by oil spills from ships being blown out. that's what i worried about during the war was all those birds come in. mike didn't help me and i

started reading letters. i'm not sure who i sent them to or wanting some what did take care of those birds please? maybe that was the beginning of my activism. paulette. ah, we moved here and 74. the kids were just part of this landscape and they were down along the river. they knew everything that lived down there. my kids loved it, i mean they were part of it. there were beavers and otters in the river then to you. of course all the fish and harrison i sprays and so they were part of that. they loved it was nothing to worry about. mm ah

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 were faced with this law that says you can't clear that 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 anymore and vietnam and was praising the use of these things. and how they were going to transform forestry forever. when they started to, to spread blanket these huge, clear cut with a lot of a journal 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 maker.

at the white house. the stage of history is that when the 1st meeting between president eisenhower, i am senator kennedy's as the leg when eisenhower passed over the 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 ur besides. in general, was part of that strategic view. the here at the chemical company and middle michigan revolutionary chemical killers are

being produced to help us of these costly piss. one of the newest and most versatile weapons and dollars, arsenal of chemical warfare is to for dial. we'd killer to for d is a growth regulator. type of we'd kill it. the action is the logical, appearing to upset the plants, growth processes i'm causing gradually, but certain death. miss saigon? government in 1961 was a vociferous proponents of the use of or besides in vietnam, the government was fighting a communist insurgency in the south. that was supply in north they felt that the insurgency was

a major threat to their existence. with in october 1961 things haven't really gotten started, yet. these are telexes. it's a message from the ambassador noting but basically just say present damn 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 insurgence 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 herbicides 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 branch and was c name for the herbicide to fully asia program brought 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 an aeration not downloaded and shipped to wash. gov t said he said, if you want any of that information for your report, you gonna have to come with me to night and move over to my fi headquarters. well, get you into my office and we'll print them out. and he turned on the machine and we printed out a stacked light batch. 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. it 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 make. so they, in order to deliver as much as they could as quickly as they could. they've 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 jackson and the ultimate chemical substances that were created. and they knew that it posed risks 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, g with the higher concentration of di auction. as the contaminant had a contaminant in the 245 t compound, we knew di auction is an extremely potent carcinogenic mutagenic meaning it causes chromosomes to mutate tyrado janet, affecting the fetus of a woman, very potent compound national bureau standards estimate a half life for a dioxin molecule, 2000000000 years. that's why e p a regards it as equivalent to glue 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 with seeing a larger number of 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. allen's appellate child. those odds were just astronomical, but a small practice like ours would have to allen's family children. it made me realize that there was something going on somebody else is there, a london broker sent us to people in thoughtful conversation. we were 1st generation of black versus people and we had to really find our way with no hope and no limitation. the world is a much smaller place. we do better to get away with these regional boundaries. films. i rec, thank you into tell me,

singer songwriter again. you said what racism vicki certainly have is making often visible studio v unscripted coming soon on out to sarah killing the debate. 90 percent of the world's refugees have come from a common impacted country. the climate emergency is putting more pressure on across the world and amplify your voice. it's not really the future 8. now, this is not our responsibility. please get a lot concrete is this completed. we cannot lose hope. we know what to do and we have the tools to do to get act. we must build all this to you on al jazeera ah 25 years ago, a new era in television news in the middle east began. ah, the conclusion of a 2 pock documentary theories month and the 25th anniversary of algiers. you with this episode, the launch of al jazeera ingrid for from

a broadcaster into a multi platform global met with this story of al jazeera, a unique path, lou. 2 of the people, this is agent orange is coming up at 1st we'll check the headlines and the u. n. is calling for the release of 16 of its local staff is detained in ethiopia, capital addis ababa. it comes at a time of escalating conflict between ethiopia is the central government and rebel forces in the countries north. as far as i know, no explanation given to us by white piece of the staff members are.
