i is reminder of our top story. russia has apparently launched missiles strike that hit an apartment block in ukraine's don't yet region authority say more than 15 people are dead and many more are missing under the rubble. you're watching dw news live from berlin, coming up next is doubtful. taking a look at the story of a to leon, community seeking compensation for the devastation caused by a european firm's toxic waste. i'm really mohammed, unfortunate the season about imagine how many portion of loans are thrown out in the world climate change division off the stores. this is my plan, the way from just one week. how much we're going to really get we still have time to go. i'm going all

with a thump in a 2nd for them. hey, what do you think it is massive. i don't know. but there's lots of austin. they try oxide around here. yeah. are snacking? wow . ah.

if there is 7th avenue, this is the cemetery. thing . she's buried here. i believe her death was caused by all the arsenic and blood we have here day. you see a bay. i still asked myself why i was never allowed to see her medical records. but again, why is that? he was alone. i wasn't even allowed to take a picture of her if she lost her hair due to be chemotherapy in was completely bald later by a ship every time i wanted to take a photo of her, she said no mama, no. she didn't want to have her picture taken that way.

medical babylon, on her final day, she said come with me. when i said to her later, darling medical that rally. she asked me why we don't. i said yes. and then i'll be sleeping next to you. she put her head on my shoulder and drew her last breath. you may. i looked, it was like when a baby says mamma for the 1st time you may know it. mamma, april mama, she breathed mamma. and at that moment i lost her. you will never forget that ah mm

ah no to some old. 14 years ago i began retracing the steps from my home town in sweden to my native country, chile, and the desert town of our rica or earth and stardom. adrica. falcon said 2 places that have been connected, my entire life wanted some unconnected by the mining company. alida will either ah, mona had issue many people here a sig and thousands initially. they say it's because of the ways it at their book, it and of all funded there some to the waste that's left over after we've finished mining for gold back at home after we'd extracted the precious metals from the or it melma viewed a feel we've made this film on to tell that story for that visa. awesome. hm.

okay. yeah, i laugh so you're allowed to live. i'm jasa lynn to death. yet that next me is now a lush warping nampa. my 1st question did. how do you feel about what your country to intent for has brought here gateway do you mean the toxic waste? since okay, i think my country's responsible once i would and should do something to help all of you. i said, i'll go put that aside to that. ah,

to amy in the mid 19 eighties when chili was ruled by a military dictatorship, bullied and shipped nearly 20000 tons of toxic sludge to a rica in northern she, lady lyrica. ah. m . they in none here. go hugged almosha neat quicksilver humbly. this lodge contained high levels of arsenic, old mercury, and lead shall landscape all logged chromatic t maloney toner for lead and paid that she lay in company pro mel 1000000 euros to dispose of the toxic waste. but only a fraction of the sludge was processed in promos, furnaces, preston, cliff li, kunda. box lumped. the rest was simply dumped into a pile on the outskirts of

a rica and forgotten may order skill a boost of excel from allison till whose summit and there it stopped. it forced us project in the years that followed by a densely populated neighbourhood emerged right next to it. off house harrigan, cleverly that's ah at ham back han, bullied and is a pillar of society. you might say that it helped sustain and provide a living to my community. but what does bullied and have to say about how swedish mining ways will ended up on the other side of the world upon darcy than you'd left it on? you're simply not interested in a fair portrayal of this issue or of believe in as a company was a must do service, bailey. that's not true. we described go lead in as an important company that is

done a lot for the community here than i'm being dental school locally. and my mom and trying a connection between the people who work for bulletin to day and the situation and oscar gemini, of the of you get the 2nd. i don't think that's fair to the people who work for the company to day with her. and that ought to be it that my feel all working on this film. i eventually came into contact with one of bullied and former directors rove the sped buried. was one of those responsible for shipping the toxic sludge to our rica. ah ha ha. we led us to wagner. he returned to over eager because he wanted to see with his own eyes the consequences of his decision. ah, i hear the music over there where it says casey stain. you

who got my children used to play there in about a few of them in the what did you hear about the young man who died of the tumor in his head? he was also poisoned. no one ever told him what was going on. the doctors in santiago didn't say anything because they said it was just that the people here uneasy, g o b, 10 year old children have to take these 3 months and the doctor see that they're insulin resistant. i don't understand what's happening here. there are so many drugs in examination with what i don't understand this. oh,

the ellis ross is rove. he doesn't speak spanish. aloud. i bye beth? yes. well metre, vignette this sunday, she had to have surgery away. because of the toxic waste extra nipples grew on her year after mamma. that's why she had surgery did. if she got pregnant, all of these nipples would have produced milk. that's why they had to be removed. i am at it, it isn't your fault. that came to them. no, i wouldn't say that, but i feel terribly sad about this. it will and very, very angry. if i had made a different decision, though, none of this material would ever have been sent here. no motto

again. and when the lena, when he came here to our account, 20 wait till me came to my house and we talked for quite a while and they all explained the deal to us. and we have to tell them i remember that he was very emotionally affected after visiting the area and talking to the young people there. the after that experience. and i think that he said the bulletin has to address the damage done to the people there. for me, it was a question of justice, you know, and human rights. if any, again, when i go south, i wouldn't, they might have with the fia de medicine men, rodrigo, my sampler and i from from all rodrigo and i have known each other for 14 years. one of him he is from a rica and is an anthropologist. madame somebody be true when i 1st met him, he had begun working with the people affected by the toxic waste from sweden. he

dog. today he's probably the person who knows the most about the waste scandal, lina rica in chile, both that she lay in state and promo that the company that received the ways were convicted in court. some took him and a small group of victims received compensation for the damage they suffered in elite and their lot on the arbiter men bully them, but bullied and has never been taken to court. i thought a target had o laden has avoided commenting on the a rica case whenever possible. medical mathematica found that they probably assumed the case has been forgotten, evoked clumped with

welcome. kimberly. hey, you are now, but i, i, i'd like to speak to eva wooten. yes . hey, you wanna? my name is johan, either from carrot law firm and stocker. yahoo! and her standing upa legion's legal representative. yes. i mean you can go on there . um hi. i'm calling because of the exports of toxic mining waist to the mid 19 eighties to chilling partition. i assume you're familiar with that. you know, so at the all to some of nathan, i've been looking into this case for a while. i get it together with some colleagues from sweden, she li on the u. s. and we've prepared a lawsuit her against bulletin gilbert from andrew curtis. anderson's her come, bowling down ah

count can said malformations bone and joint pain. the waste that's believed in ship to chile in the 1980s. this is dale, causing sirius hum to day said that a man julio, 800 people from a poor community in the desert of northern chile, have lost a claim against the swedish company. mm. with lisa it feels good to see that there are people who are pursuing the matter in a way that we as a feel make is on able to do it. kenyatta. if you don't tito from the court cases the result of 4 years of preparation which began after the release of a documentary film as much as the report showed children played in the pile of

toxic waste which was full of arsenic lead, and mercury them at the waist came from sweden and bullied, and none of this would have happened if the waste had stayed in sweden to study. ah, we were struck by how symbolic how representative was of cases of this type. there are many, many situations like this around the world where typically multinational corporations based and develop countries do things overseas that they would never dream about doing in their own country. ah, louise gordon lewis gordon that is the founder of an american non profit

organization backed by private donors that provides legal support to environmental cases around the world. he and a team, a swedish lawyers watched our film yet he can. why are we lee too late? i wish for each one of you a room believe between the had your isn't. this is very crucial for become involved in another savage the name we have. okay. miss young. this was the case i dreamt told when i was in law school to represent the week against the mighty. this

a step tried to let him push this in here. it's flattened out. probably with the had a plot. so this is city o f, that a bullet place where bullied into waste was kept until 1998. when she lane authorities instructed prom l to move the waste about a kilometer away sedans coming. but for 14 years before that, the sludge was located next to a residential area, volta islam at thought a door in the liquor. if you on all the people he is say that by that time, toxic dust had spread across the entire area. say that tifton lay them how to speed . it's your middle that a thank you for how to foot problems still

existed. yeah, i saw you live before we were talking about when the waste was moved in 1988 when it arrived here in 1995 before the waste is still here. it's unbelievable when you watch your film, in fact, it's hard to grasp how close the house is actually are not, and nobody there knew anything in follow up. nobody knew what it was or some loss of the wind close from here, the stress over there. again, diana say, and nobody knew what it was like on a back then there wasn't even any walls when this will built later when we the kids we used to come here to play. mommy, that was easy to get inside. one of what he ended up, the children would play her well for some of the things they would do specifically on why the m a on equal. they were piles where kids would play in the dirt. all of them. yeah, some of them built castles with the montana at

thought on bought some extra. joselyn is one of the many children who grew up in this neighbourhood in the 1st time i met her, she was 10 years old. the home of t. o. i lived with her family when i was in a rica, and that will mourn on that you've already had you been with us and this class had 10 of it. so i watched her grow up on my visits to a rica, and soon she'll have a baby herself, scone child for bon mm. where it is just to live over there. this is simply of the amount of that because i'm pregnant. my baby is sharing my blood, or you're suffering from drama from that or, and arsenic, and as a me arsenic. as an the now you're going to have

a new member of the family. i only wish that the baby is born healthy. in awe. if i figured the bell and film with 3 out of city, i knew that 8000 people in all were tested and 2010 out of 8000 samples. you can still 6600 were examined by lab and santiago means an arsenic was confirmed at some of the diesel. so in the $6600.00 samples that are arsenic poisoning was confirmed and 12.9 percent of them, which is approximately $800.00 versus ctc. yes. by a 100 load hipaa. we're already part of the lawsuit. if i just that minority of the local residence, 825 people with out of a group of 15000, we are 18000 persona a

possible to join a new group of clemons. we can add people who have suffered harm, even though the case is already before the court in sweden. if you have arsenic levels of 30 or more, you can join the lawsuit. the whole idea with this is a court case. we might win or we might lose just like any lawsuit. ok, thank you. just think of how many thousands of tons of toxic waste with doors here . it was contaminated with 14 different heavy metals. we presented the case don't. belinda wouldn't have been dealing with a huge company. it has a great deal of power in europe over the next level. ca them unless given the opportunity to super lead in a swedish court that's already a success even without knowing what will come of it. is it good to me now?

oh i lost your lars. you're responsible for launching the biggest lawsuit we've ever had here. so era really? very common health and home garage. huh. thank you. so this is our home for 8 weeks . we'll perfect gordon porpoise each guy coming watch out. dan polluters come after we're coming for you. ah, it all been austin. robin alden's, tom, i'm a lawyer representing bulletin in this case of over them and i won't be the we know fairly well what they'll say. we've been exchanging arguments for

several years now. it's been a long journey job. my name is leslie nielsen, needle, head of communications at belinda boley them sub only the hard so bullied and has done nothing wrong here of it. so the set up, so be our standpoint. is that we have a responsibility to clarify what happened, support the cleans with back fact to the everything is on the table. oh, it's an emotional chase is an important case for many people including bulletin ball. so we have to get to the bottom of this would almost be what it and get closer to the truth livable would, would necessarily be the most spectacular truth for me. but it should be that they did not the full truth larosa ala older than it must have been thus far left at a fresh trace. it's luck. the case is the 1st of its kind in sweden. both sides have submitted thousands of pages documenting the various investigations show and

the evidence take these positioning. mm. ah see, is it the hearing will begin in case he 1012 slash 13. between the adrica plaintiff and bullied and mineral a belong. bought us ethan, both sides have brought in witnesses and scientists from all over the world explorer experts on chile and law, meteorologists, toxicologist, as soil experts at chemists, semi metella justin politicians, and former employees and directors or schaefer under mean except on an id cassie, them, until exam, but expanded plaintiffs from a rica will present experts who will support the claim. that toxic levels of arsenic were found in the urine authorship, and that it originates from belinda and smell to sludge all fun. i am a professor at chapman university in california. and my expert opinion,

the smelter sludge, is a clear and significant a source of arsenic in the area to discounted as a source of arsenic. it takes that tremendous stretch of imagination when i 1st heard from one of the lawyers that the bullet and waste had 17 percent arsenic. i didn't believe it. i've never heard anything like that. a pile of waste that close to a city to with that high of arsenic concentration. in one moment. how did you tell your children that they're all there is going to die in? let me let some they don't know for yourself. he was my reason for everything. he

managed that and they till came from me specific. will that e this is could kathy a little less than darrow's good of him and then we have plaintiffs here as well. i got a 2011 study showed that there are high levels of arsenic here. anyhow, albany, the honeywell t like you're gonna be a woman who lived in the house with the bars of them. she sold the house and died of cancer. danny te, conan lived next door. she had an aggressive cancer in her head and died to the new for you. he died i. e s. and the wife of her son had a baby who died. but her son doesn't want to talk to anyone about it or hear anything about the contamination. and another neighbor mighty subpoena had the

stomach cancer. the woman who bought her house had a tumor on her face and put in the men across from her, also had cancer. and then there's so many cases it, yes, it seems like every one here. and marty on monday, she had ovarian cancer. well defined by the time she died, the cancer had spread everywhere. then there's mrs. yaya who also died of cancer. it started in her years and spread that then there's mrs. today's us husband, who also died of cancer. he had lung cancer and skin cancer. hockey gum from libya and then mottos, father, we spoke about a molar. more melanie hurry, irv reger, i guess. what's the health situation like in other parts of attica, is he got a home in the area near the disposal site is very striking in another unit based not only compared to the rest of america in them, but to all of chill, little british imperial cancer. when we started our research in 25 a,

we didn't find higher rates, i can start in but the live. but today, it are cases in almost every family that in the areas near the disposal site to literally a rate of cancer is much, much higher than in the rest of keel or the front to lena in the gutter. janevalyn santo lasagna. re a been dog who hung up for listening to him was very interesting. he paints a picture of what he sees as the situation in the region to us. but as so often, i don't believe his account holds up as evidence. it could be that in 1998, when people became aware that a big pile of potentially hazardous materials were stored there. and they began to see it as the cause for all sorts of things for you. it became an explanation for all sorts of things. just as a different gloria clogged awe

of storm that the still melody of rica and bullied and are a world apart like 2 worlds that never meet the reality of what is happening on the other side of the world you seems far, far away, long or less than under estes hey you, i'm me fall now you had already been all my father worked, the boy lead me and visited chili when the sledge was being sold on a deal to have. i'm sure he died in 2008 other off, but often talked about how they, he and his bosses knew that the waste would not be handled properly in chile, the case haunted him for the rest of his life gone down to sleep.

ringback the body that my father spent his entire working life a whole year. then in his last years he was dragged into the fray a little at the la the funds hold saddam somebody until you meet them all to toilet. so even in the mid 19 eighties, there were people who doubted that the sludge would be handled safely. and chile, on accordions, father, martin lindstrom, appears on rovers, fed buried photo from a rica. no. you amanda, that a papa? oh yes, that's my father. definitely. mm hm . men bulletins advocate say that fido laden's lawyers say that the company because of its visits to a rica who gray to precautions than they were required to. and that it was impossible to foresee that people would be exposed to the waste up manage escalator

pinellas for off holland. yes, you get him to disarm all sorts of hindsight and foresight are 2 different things. and non hindsight, there is an elegant english phrase. he himes side bias sham, which describes a psychological phenomenon where we as human beings, when we think about an event in hindsight from will tend to believe that it was much more predictable than it really was more than incredible by just vol. threw up money for left of cash advance. people in this town won't even dare to think that believe may have done anything wrong. they're the only thing my father sent to that effect was, as we understood that they wouldn't take care of the material pro play. he never said, i understood it. ya, but i don't know what he meant by. we may be only live out that way or maybe there was some kind of consensus among mist off that they'd never have dad speak about it openly. my my bill went sad huck

official, marty linds. martin lindstrom passed away several years ago. and anna caught in can't find anything in her father's note books that refers to the regrets her father expressed pins. there's nothing that could be used as evidence in the courtroom. ah, conversation and you see so 12 good. yeah. i just want to add to that. yeah. i want justice to be done here, tara beaver. my. my son was killed. kin, my boss, we who, who killed your son. why bo, lead a and my dad, the senate, the toxic material here. and he knew exactly what they were doing. ox are and the

we have no further question there truly, knowledge fill them out. lessons on your side. i know your honor locked up out of the opposing party has no questions. the hearing us over now. the or so to time it stalked from one other or we've been hired for almost 2 months if you see out did. and i dare say that this was bulletins plan, talk article. this is what happened was when big multinational corporations are accused of causing damage with their activity. incident azusa huge sums are spent on experts and consulting muscle from ripple to produce hundreds of pages worth of reports of missy mall. all with the goal of obscuring your what is evident, i believe, and hope that this court has the ability for to, to see through all that all awesome. thank you for more got c e m ah

bully them in that of manish name. all it into lead that almost caught bullied and claims that the plaintiff suffered no damages. and if they did it, it's not the result of their waste. bullied and doesn't even describe it as waste. bo didn't salad material of negative value. did the rest of the out a negative to bad? ah. put him in that. ok. so they also said that if bleeding and as the a rica side claims them, it has contributed to a humana tearing catastrophe. then this was something the company could never have predicted say, ah,

are you? good thanks. a bit nervous, nervous. that it? yes. oh and you of course all of the show as emotional for 11 years of work boils down to a single minute litany an organ. alva i nerve in the metal. are you ready for her from okay, here we go. okay. the verdict goes looked for ma'am. mm . hm, okay. oh i, i need to talk to the people here. what's the verdict?

bowie and what, what ian, what ah ha. the interest will smell miss regina ah, we have in our course were very disappointed. we hoped for a different outcome. morgan, morgan, there are many, many people in the city of africa are who stayed up all night. they are night it's not fair. it's not fair. you know, the wound our lives and now they're not even taking responsibility for it. i have no idea what we can do. now. this proves nothing. all that it proves is that

money talks and they have plenty of that go with billable epic, the directly in the grammar. we're sorry. we raised your hopes what? but i also want to ask for your forgiveness, another one. then you don't have to do that to rodriguez, that we're very grateful for all the work you have done that. yeah, i know you thought that you would when opens up we all thought we would when but now you'll obviously i'm in shock. yeah, i can hardly knew. we didn't stand a challenge. let me know.

life was a goals believer at all or during this preceding bulletins rule and the material from bronze care when an organ have been thoroughly scrutinized and animal, the conclusion is unequivocal. i call on the residents of erica, we want to try to accept the results of the investigation brochure and this trial in fact, to say, she left a team threat hardballs, but the my, to she, lance, the swedish court decided to apply chilly in law. so the statute of limitations hadn't expired when i bought it bought the verdict states that there is no proven connection between bullied and toxic waste. and the arsenic are found in people's urine to sierra, despite the fact that the court says bullied and acted negligently. and it states that this is not relevant because a level of 30 micrograms of arsenic per late of urine does not represent hom. instead the court said a new level for damages at $100.00 micrograms,

which is what bullied and had asked for the latter. oh. and we caught them up on and the to the to be seen to me and women men, the men that ok, so the lawyers for a rica of course do not agree with the verdict. but they also say that the court has made an important error is here on m d and hooks up in chile, the supreme court decided that 19 micrograms of arsenic per liter of urine all represents hom, which the swedish court did not take into consideration it all the lawyers are convinced that they can win on appeal on what them can be. now you hold a oh, hello a i i can i

see us. i got a 30 minute verdict is read the key in bio ah, there it is. oh, she yes. oh hemphill martin, i'm sorry, it didn't work. the court now decided to apply swedish law to the case also on a lease where a place if it's the statute of limitations, it don't hor, replugged. i can't believe it. they dismissed you to the statute of limitations and didn't consider anything else. no, they took the easy way out with all we found was in

the commercial set up only then a so bullied and got away with it because they did nothing all this time. they didn't act in a timely manner, and so they avoided taking responsibility. they had to get out in the year. and if paula or orleans called it, you can bury toxic waste and your liability ends as soon as it's in the ground. and then in 10 years, it's no longer your problem. the children affected by bullied and toxic waste have their claims barred by the statute of limitations before they're even born. a number for this this fault, it's difficult to accept that justice has been done. 2 ah, dumb stolen to get a quote from to let a court should have told the whole truth and but now that the court has ruled that

the statute of limitations has passed levels, the truth never even got a full hearing. so we will never know what the justice system believes about bullied and his responsibility for what happened in rica for this amount with we should claim a right? so citizen, it's not our fault. they got money from the government to bring that toxic waste that contaminated our life. we have to join forces and fight for justice. ah ah ah

ah ah ah . ah lou chasing danger. speed, frenzied downwards. 200 kilometers an hour with no breaks. why do extreme athletes risk their lives?
