5:26 pm
we're hoping to rebuild their lives. but now that may take longer. he po morgan ology 0. how the u. s. president has announced he is pardoning thousands of people convicted of marijuana possession under federal laws. joe biden is urging state governors to quash similar convictions. shebra tansy has more now from washington, dc. we have this, this removed by the president to pardon those who were federally convicted of the simple possession of marijuana. but it must be pointed out that it is very rare for people to be convicted of a single charge of simple possession of marijuana. no one is going to be released from prison as a result of this, the white house says no one is currently setting a federal simple possession of marijuana charge. but, but what the white house says they're hoping to do is for those who work, convicted or have in the past been convicted of his charge and,
5:27 pm
and put in prison or jail, it will reduce some of the hurdles they have once they're released. as far as employment, housing, an education for example. so that's why this isn't actually even expunged from that, from the criminal record that has to get to the course. but there is now an official presidential problem that the white house, because a relatively modest it has to be said for how many people they think are going to be affected by this. at least 6500 people, they think. but actually thousands more here in dc because we are in fact under federal federal law here. so it's a, it's a $6500.00 plus people that i think will be affected by this. in addition, there, the president says he's urging state governance to issues similar pardons and it is the majority. the majority of possession offences occur in, in the states themselves have over having said about their when asked on a background cool white as the ministration official effective admitted. he's actually going to do very much. this is it. now. arsenic is a naturally kind toxic substance used as an insecticide. and in some manufacturing
5:28 pm
processes. and large doses, though it can be deadly. robbins visited one california community dealing with high concentrations last night where they want, at least in their water. when former dennis hudson pumps water from his well in allens worth california, he knows there's danger lurking. even though the water looks clean, it's contaminated with high amounts of arsenic. the way we feel about the water is it can't be trusted there carcinogens in the water. arsenic is a carcinogen, it will cause cancer. it, it effect it fixes itself to the fatty tissues in the by the toxic substance leaches into the water supply from underground rock formations. the u. s. government says the safe level of arsenic is 10 parts per 1000000000. hudson's. well, water has more than $300.00 parts per 1000000000,
5:29 pm
and many other wells in the community are similar. arsenic is colorless in his odorless. you can't see you can't taste it. and in fact, people, before we really realize the extent of the arsenic in our water, there are people who would visit allen's worth and say, wow, this water really taste good. allen's worth is an impoverished town of about 600 people founded by black settlers over 100 years ago. because people don't trust the safety of their water. many travel to other towns to buy filtered water for cooking and drinking. it's a problem that extends far beyond this small california farming town across the united states. it's estimated that 2100000 people draw their water from wells contaminated with high levels of arsenic. scientists from the university of california have set up an experimental filtering project on dennis hudson's farm. so the in flight groundwater has about $200.00 parts per 1000000000,
5:30 pm
arsenic. and by the time it reaches the end of achievement training, we've treated this water. it's coming out consistently below 10 parts per 1000000. similar filtration systems have succeeded in countries with high arsenic concentrations like india and bangladesh. this promise is to me, one of the lowest, if not go lowest cost ways, who reliably remove arsenic from gun order at a price that local communities can afford. the researchers hope the equipment can solve arsenic problems in other communities, and dennis hudson is praying. it will, what would it mean if you could live with clean water? it would mean the world to this community and to california, it would just mean life and life abundantly clean water in a time of climate change and drought, more precious than ever. rob reynolds al jazeera allen's worth california.
