taishan represent irradiated individuals and their elements. it's a horrendous archive of cruelty and immorality coolie registering skin diseases detached retinas menstrual irregularities hair loss in media tumors diarrhea and vomiting among many other illnesses and death the data was not published either in japan or the united states. in 1946 the united states launched a series of nuclear weapon tests. one aim was to study the effects of radiation on troops military equipment and the environment the program continued into the 960 s. . use in operation hard. 1958. and i went to 20 different topic

weapons testings. operation hall attack included high altitude and underwater detonations at sites in and around the marshall islands the 1st took place on april the 28th and the last on august the 18th $958.00 they with 55 tests in a c 3 days. one of them was a caldwell brother shot it was a big boom and then it broke through and there was a ship set in out there and it just kind of broke up broke into and looked like a little toy fly and to be here we were sideways to the to the blast now this aircraft carrier. and when it hit our ship it crinkle around like a piece of tenfold and it rolled $49.00 degrees everybody thought we were going over going over they had

a worst out system going on but i think the worst system was just put radiated water back on the ship from there and when i was down then they in the elevator pitch there they came around with geiger counters and they said get your butt out of there it's really radiated it's hot down there so i got out of there and i had to go to the decontamination station take off all your clothes and showered check your fingernails geiger counters. it was called to teach they were all named after trees and when they went off. with your back turned it was it was hot enough to scorch the back of my uniform you had to put your arms and hands over your eyes you could see the bones and your eyes in your arms and you could see the bones and the guy in front of you if you

look in of there. after the i got radiated my 3 times the monday and a whole bunch of us really got sick and sick bay they just it all there's a little bit of flu going around here down don't worry about it and they give you what they call apc's all purpose capsules that i think with aspirin they told us there was no risk there you were close and you didn't have enough radiation the cause any days days or anything like that or any harm. there was low level radiation. you know person would never go away. the u.s. military consistently downplayed the effects of the radiation on its personnel. much like the leadership of the soviet union which in 1986 sent in teams equipped

with nothing more than called the filter gas masks and lead vests to clear away de brézé in the radioactive hell of to nobble. before long these men were known simply as the liquidated is. seen. when we look at these images now if they only convey a vague impression of what happened it's like watching a movie chernobyl was an enormous problem because nobody had imagined that an accident at a reactor could take on the dimensions of a nuclear war. and it was like nuclear war the radiation and fallout was equivalent to dropping 500 atomic bombs it was immense the united nations report said 50 people died as a direct result and estimated there would be 4000 cases of cancer that would mean

chernobyl killed if you were people that died in road accidents across the van u.s.s.r. in a single day today more than 80 percent of all children in belarus are believed to be sick in fact the true figure is closer to 90 percent of. the rate of illness was more like the 15 or 20 percent adults also manifest a greater vulnerability to disease they get sick more easily and more often today's adults were the sick children of chernobyl now they are the sick adults of chernobyl. the populace will be quite. the population of dello russo is shrinking the ratio of deaths to births has doubled well for sure noble there were 60 deaths per $100.00 births and valorous now it's $120.00 deaths per $100.00 births that's a fact the population is getting sicker and sicker with that there is no acknowledgement that that's caused by radiation yet there are extremely disturbing cases and late 2017 at a school in minsk 2 children suffered heart attacks within

a few days of each other out of the blue if you 210 year old girls died. when you know for most before there's no information as to the causes at least not yet but as far as i know the government responded to these deaths by instituting mass screenings of children full to identify those at risk does this because he knew congenital defects play a major role. during the development of the heart in a fetus the radiation can lead to valid disorders before me with that can cause arrhythmia and many other kinds of heart disease we call. among the chernobyl liquidators the most common cause of death has been heart attack so that suggests a direct link between radiation and disease to the. the

focus of 2011 and the ensuing radioactive contamination of the ocean gave renewed impetus to the demands of the fisherman hummed at bikini asil must have received his research. the slogan booking the nuclear disaster at booker shima gave us a jolt we mustn't ignore these things called what exactly happened at bikini atoll has still not been established if we just accept that there's a risk that that will be the case with books as well. or the theory will move. beginning you can go to what are the must stop i stopped thinking about what happened that bikini atoll phone. call then in 2014 i read in the newspaper about claims for damages against the japanese state because of what happened there. are now new for me to look around.

so i started to study the matter and look for other people who had been affected so we could talk about it. oh no. it's outrageous how the state has dealt with us. the japanese state has not treated us like citizens it has withheld documentation from the public for 60 years. according to. the law this is what the fisheries agency published in february 25th teen. and gave to the members of parliament. all 95 pages have been redacted. for. the know. it's all blacked out and it's totally useless.

to simply grotesque. we have drawn attention to the fact that the government has tried to suppress the content of official documents so that's a serious offense to. the law. in 201545 japanese fisherman who had been subjected to radiation at bikini atoll 6 decades earlier filed suit against the japanese state for withholding relevant records they demanded financial compensation for their medical expenses they want the truth to be told. i am hoping for a positive outcome that i can soon share with my former colleagues. well

we were abandoned by the state it failed to protect us. kim in this. struggle we mustn't give up we must think of the people in fukushima and not leave them in the lurch time may be passing but we still need to attain clarity. today nearly 30 law suits are pending in focus sima the central issue is the rights of children who are still being exposed to radiation and all the risk that entails children's bones are particularly susceptible to damage. the plaintiffs are demanding that children be relocated so they can grow up in

a place free of radioactive contamination. they accuse the government and the local authorities in fukushima of exposing their children to danger through negligence and willful misinformation. given here in this going to go on the number of cases of fire oid cancer in children has risen steadily but according to some experts that is not necessarily a result of exposure to radiation this. post is such was cleaning up a car so i just greening has conducted every 2 years many children were diagnosed with the disease at the 1st screening 2 years later the number should have been lower but it wasn't there were 71 new cases you can't explain that away with statistics screening of the most intimate again.

these blue lights and grey turned contain more than a 1000000 tons of contaminated water. the water used to cool the. actors and focus she immediately becomes highly radioactive the tanks will all be fall sometime next year. the government has said it was considering releasing the water into the sea. when you can move. or munich still my have a feeling the politicians want everything that has to do with the disaster to be a race and they are carrying on as if nothing happened we must remain alert to the danger to our country otherwise we are all loss.

you mentioned it was counseled earlier on today it was decided by police that it couldn't go ahead because it would be unsafe and senshi unable to happen while the u.k. is still in lockdown due to coronavirus restrictions instead the organizers of the event decided to hold an online vigil they also planned for people around the country to like candles in memory is there ever a this evening in spite of that there were still some people who decided to attend the event many of them chanting reclaim the streets we heard that over and over again and save our streets they were frames of reference to the name of the original vigil that was planned reclaim the streets now we're seeing hundreds of women there which turned out there were however several arrests during the vigil can you tell us about those. we saw

several people being carried away by police during the course of the protests there was a good deal of anger aimed at the police by a number of the people present at that vigil anger in parts because it wasn't it was counsel that wasn't allowed to go ahead a lot of angry chance aimed at the police one picture in particular showing a woman being held down by police officers sparking a lot of anger online at the moment on the whole though i would have to say that the protest of the vigil remains peaceful a lot of women wanting just to show their faces to lay flowers and then and then moving on they just wanted to pay their respects to sarah in any way that they could the case of her ever and has certainly him a nerve in the u.k. aside from the venture how have people there reacted to her murder.

you know this is a case that sent shock waves not just through the u.k. but around the world as well it sparked a debate online and in people's living rooms with loved ones friends family about the fear this so many women fear when they're walking alone experience rather as they're walking alone on the streets particularly at night there's been a real conversation about how we talk about that how we reference. aggression and harassment that is experienced by women as well men being brought into this conversation a lot of questions being asked including by the men themselves about how what they can do to make women feel more comfortable keep them safe on the streets there are necessary discussion they're taking place after the death. in london thank you very much for that update. time now to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world demonstrators

a 3rd wave may be coming and countries like italy once again struggle to stem infection rates as a result the government there has announced another widespread lockdown hoping to avoid a repeat of last year's tragedy. many italians want to make the most of the good weather on saturday and the last weekend before the new lockdown comes into effect . as of monday schools restaurants and businesses in many regions will be closed. and the lockdown should have come earlier we old place white until the last minute and they were all completely locked in when nobody would see that i could never have imagined in march last year that a year later everything would have to close down again. earlier this week italy's coronavirus related death toll topped more than 100000 the so-called 3rd wave is well underway officials registered nearly 27000 new infections on friday alone the

highest daily tally since the end of november and authorities are concerned about the rapid increase in intensive care patients in many regions prime minister mario draghi warned of the worsening situation. because the chief of these figures demand that we proceed with caution to limit the number of deaths and to prevent the health system from being completely overwhelmed. a lot depends on the country's vaccination campaign but only about 80 percent of the population have received their 1st dollars many italians were hoping to see a relatively normal easter it seems in vain the country's lockdown will run through the holiday period. the european union's relationship with vaccine maker astra zeneca has had yet another bump the british swedish pharmaceutical giant says it once again won't need to liberate commitments for its covert 19 shot astra zeneca
