but there is no story like that of mordekai vananos. vananu was nuclear technician in demona till 1985 before. quitting he snapped two roles of film at the top secret nuclear plant. the world was stunned when the sunday في times published vananu's story and photos. exposing for the first time the secrets of israel's nuclear arsenal in october 1986. but israeli intelligence found mordekai vanu. and
7:03 pm
they waited for the right moment to strike. they sent a woman agent to seduce mordekai vanenu in london and convince him to travel with her to rome. vananu was vulnerable and afraid and fell for mozard's honey trap. when the article was published on october the 5th, 1986, vananu had vanished. his kidnap, an illegal act on foreign soil was kept secret. later, when vanunu appeared for secret court session in jerusalem al-kuds, he found a way to reveal what had happened to him since he left london. writing on his hand, vananu m was hijacked in rome. banananu's trial was
7:04 pm
held in secret, he was found guilty of treason and espionage and sentenced to 18 years in jail, 11 of them in solitary confinements. the woman that seduced vananu was sherill bent off. after she completed her mission, she disappeared back into her secret world. today she lives back in orlando, usa, with her husband and two daughters running around. real estate business. vallano's a revelations confirm suspicions and showed a weapons program bigger and more advanced than anyone had previously thought. mordekaivanu was released in 2004, but he is not a free man. israeli borders are now his prison. his passport was confiscated and he cannot contact foreigners. this jewish state have
7:05 pm
200 atomic weapons of hydrogen bomb, atomic weapons, neutron bomb, and they are not able to say they have the bomb, they are not able to destroy. anyone, we are not able to use the bomb, instead the arrest, what we are going to see now is something that has never been shown in a non-israeli tv channel, the 3d tour inside the israeli bomb factory we created thanks to the photos taken by mordaakivananu. this is institute number one, demona's symbol, the only building seen from far away. 20 meters high nuclear reactor dome. in 1986, bananu took us inside, heavy water reactor built in the 50s with france and norway's help, with capacity of 24 megawatts. thanks to vanananu, we learned
7:06 pm
that this reactor capacity is three or possibly even five times larger than assumed. this reactor produces 40 kilograms of plutonium year. is enough to build 10 to 12 atomic bombs. adjacent to the reactor is institute number three. here the fuel rods powering the reactor are produced, together with lithium 6, another ingredient of the bomb. this is institute number five. here the fuel rods are coated with the aluminium. institute number six is the power station of the compound. the lab is in institute number eight and inside is another secret revealed by mordekai vananu. this is where israel produces enriched uranium. like plutonium, it's conserved as fishionable material for the bomb. the uranium is produced through gas centrifuges. enriched uranium is also
7:07 pm
produced in institute number nine using laser, a unique israeli patent. institute number 10 produces the depleted uranium, an important. opponent in the production of armor piercing shells. institute number four handles the radiation waste prior to it being disposed, and this long two-story building with no windows is demona's biggest secret. institute number two. beneath the two innocent looking floors, hidden underground are six additional floors. it was vanananu who showed the world what no satellite could see. here israel set up a plutonium separation facility with one goal, the manufacturing of atomic bombs. in the 60s, american inspectors visited the first floor. they saw the restaurants and the offices. a special wall was constructed hiding the elevators leading to the underground levels.
7:08 pm
back outside, trucks bring in the processed uranium rods. through the large doors, a crane grasps the rods and lowers them to the big work. space four floors below. the rods are dipped in nitrous acid tanks, cooked for about 30 hours and then a system of pipes draws the water containing the uranium and plutonium. through a chemical process, the materials are separated and then baked in an oven, producing a small 130 gram plutonium ball, 1.7 kilograms a week, 4 kilograms and it's a bomb, just like this model shot by vanenoute. the process can be viewed from level two. a balcony was built for distinguished guests, nicknamed golder's balcony. and that's the control room as shot by vananu. only 150 employees are authorized to enter it. visits are limited to the prime minister, the ministry of military affairs,
7:09 pm
and a small group of confidence. equipped with a hidden camera, vanonu walked about institute number two and took pictures of the different sections. not only plutonia. is produced here. at level number four, vananu revealed the production of tritium used in the production of thermonuclear bombs, which are more powerful than ordinary atomic bombs. two other essential materials for the bomb are produced here: lithium and juterium. all these ingredients are taken to level five to unit md2, the metal department, where they are assembled into a bomb. one level down is recreation. shot what experts identified as a model of an israeli thermonuclear bomb, 10 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on hiroshima. experts that analyzed bananu's testimony determined that by the 80s israel
7:10 pm
had produced 100 to 200 atomic bombs. this ranks israel as the sixth or even fifth nuclear power in the world. ladies and gentlemen, welcome to national airport and from am we travel to southern jordan. high cancer rates were recorded in all the southern jordanian governance which confirmed the possible direction of nuclear dust that might be leaking from demona. tips we received claim that in jordan there are hundreds of cases of cancer and other diseases, all of them in the regions near the border with israel. from talefar to demona,
7:11 pm
it is about 30 kms and winds or water knows no borders. in almost every house in this region we can find the same story, diseases and death. demona is a word that everybody knows. around here, but in jordan, like in israel, demona and his deadly consequences are taboom. saleh is tour guide and an activist. for years he is trying to uncover what is happening to the people around the tafilar region. من مفاعل ديمونه هو مزاج عام كل الناس عندنا هي بتعرف انه في شيء من مفاعل
7:12 pm
ديمونه بياثر على الناس في محاوده التقليل ولكن الجهات الرسميه ما عندها و راي تحكيه وما عندها كلام تحكيه للمواطن فهو دائم يعني دائما من المواضيع المسكوت عنها فبتحس انه هناك في شيء غامض الجهات الرسميه ما بتتحدث فيه كثير وسائل الاعلام ما بتتحدث فيه كثير ما في رد مباشر من الجهات الرسميه يحكي عن انه هل هذا الكلام صحيح او غلط احنا دورنا في هذا الوقت انه نحمي اجيالنا القادمه من هذا المفاعل من هذا الموت لانه غير منطقي انه هذا المفاعل يظل للابد في اسرائيل انه جيل ورا اخر يمر على طريق الموت. our next stop is tafiler. here the average
7:13 pm
7:14 pm
afraid to talk came to here in the first meeting we told him that we going to talk about this and now he says much about this let's go with the single questions there is people claiming that the nuclear plant is affecting people here in this side of the border and tafile area. سيدي انا هذا الامر لا اعلم فيه على الاطلاق لكن البنيه في المحافظه تمتاز بالتنوع في الطفيله بيئه نظيفه خاليه من التلوث احنا الاردن واسرائيل هناك معاهده السلام ونحن ملتزمين ببنودها احنا والجانب الاخر لا يوجد ايه مشاكل تذكر في هذا الامر ابدا على الاطلاق. our visit to the governor's office, there was a jordanian journalist present. gazi al-amerin invites us to meet
7:15 pm
him far away from the official offices and tells us the result of years trying to investigate how to demona can be a silent killer. قبل عام 1980 للوفيات في جنوب المملكه التي تعاني من مرض السرطان اقل من 2%. من المجمل الوفيات بعد عام 1990 تزايدت هذه الحالات الى ان اصبحت تشكل اكثر من 30% من مجمل الوفيات الطفيله تحديدا والمناطق القريبه او الوحيده الصحافه الاردنيه الرسميه لا تتمتع بالحريه الكافيه يجب ان يحصل

للاردن وتحصل منطقه القفيله على قياس حقيقي فاعل ل لمعرفه حجم الاشعاعات في المنطقه ليست الحكومه هي من قام ببث الاشعاعات ولا اسرائيل متعمده الاشعاعات ولا نحن راغبون بالموت بالسرطان لكن نحن نحتاج الى تكنولوجيا والى تقنيه لمعرفه حقيقه هذه الاشعاعات واثرها على حالات السرطان الموجوده والتي تشكل كما قلت اكثر من 30%. people around stafila region are dying from cancer in high numbers, doctors link the cases to demona contamination, but officially nobody can say it, not even the ones that are dying. 17 سنتيم موجود شخصوني

born here in this land, a step away from demona nuclear plant. 'he knows that his people are dying silently and once answers that never come is demona nuclear plant poisoning its arab neighbors الان على حدود محميه ضانا للمحيط الحيوي هي المحميه اللي بتغطي مساحتها تقريبا 300 كم مربع وهي اكبر محميه موجوده في الاردن المحميه سجل فيها حوالي 838 نوع من النباتات و'. اكثر من 216 نوع من ال الطيور اختلاف في الارتفاع ولد مناخات عديده فبتلاقي في في منطقه المحميه سجلنا اربع مناخات موجوده وهي المناخات الموجوده في الشرق الاوسط فال الحدود الموجوده امامنا هي حدود الاردن مع اسرائيل ومن هنا نستطيع رؤيه الجبال الموجوده في في في منطقه الضفه الغربيه واسرائيل مفاعل
7:19 pm
ديمونه هو بعيد فقط حوالي 40 كم من منطقتنا فهو اقرب شيء وال المشكله في مفاعل ديمونه انه جاي على حفره الانهدام وحفره الانهدام هي كثيره الزلازل وال الهزات الارضيه فاذا لا سمح الله حصل اي زلزال او هزه ارضيه وتصدع المفاعل اكيد راح تكون كارثه مش بس علينا كمان حتى على اسرائيل نفسها وعلى الشعب الاسرائيلي وعلى الناس اجمعين while we were filming with basam saudi some guards of the dana natural reserve approach us. they want to break their silence. they also have story to tell about how demona is killing their families. انه قاعد نسبه الان حوالي تقريبا 60% كلها من السرطانات شايفه والتصلبات والتشريات من المفاعل هذه الشعاعات اللي اثرت على منطقتها. انت عندك حالات يعني انا والله من الحالات انا
7:20 pm
واتوفى الي الان ولد عمر من عمره ثمان اشهر صار عنده ضمور في الدماغ قطع انزيمات تشنجج. يعني انت بتحس انه في حالات كثيره صارت غير اللي عندك بعدك فوق 60% كلها سرطانات وكله من يعني نعم وبامكانكم تتاكدوا من صحه الكلام في المجتمع المحلي في القادسيه على العائلات تمروا عليهم على على بيوتهم اوكي يا سيدي شكرا لكم we are back in. palestine to visit some villages south of algelu, very close to the negev deserts and demona. here the cancer rates are growing in alarming numbers. the
7:21 pm
causes are not more than rumors. nuclear radioactive leakage from demona and nuclear waste stumps in the area, or even both. we try to find a clear answer to these rumors in berlin with zantha hall. um cubic meters year were produced in demona and it's been running for more than 40 years. we can estimate about 8,00 cubic meters of waste, radioactive waste have been, as the bottom line, have been produced, and to try and imagine what that is, it's maybe, you know, in a picture, 50,000 standard barrels of oil would be about 800 cubic meters. "we also don't know where they bury this waste, um, they say that it's not far from the reactor, and um, the main problem that we're looking at here is what
7:22 pm
state of these stainless steel containers in, after they corroded, will they be leaking, are they seeping into the ground into the into the water sources, are we seeing pollution of the environment, therefore of people's health, mean i don't know exactly the geography of the area, but some there..." chalk and i imagine that the whole area is probably also chalk and um that is not a good area to be deposing in any kind of waste and they saw that with this toxic waste dump because there was leakages and serious health problems were discovered so i would imagine that it would be similar in in the area around demona because it's not far away. and also whether it gets into the water or not, because once it gets into the water then it transports much further into other areas and people can drink it that are quite far away.
7:23 pm
um, so then we're talking about basically um that there would be cancers later on or leukemia um and in particularly the children would be badly affected because children and especially women are more... susceptible to radiation, the effects on them are much greater than grown men, for instance. i would say that those are the ones that we have found definitely in the studies that have been done around nuclear installations in germany, that the main problem was childhood cancer and in the areas surrounding plutonium reprocessing plants like celler field in the uk, the main problem was leukemia, the radioactivity has a tremendous power that can

penetrate the human gene, affecting generation after generation. jamal is a palestinian policeman. he was arrested after the second intifada and spent 13 years in jail. now he is free but living new health. his daughter has cancer, which disease does she have? at the age of nine, she was diagnosed with leukemia. nothing in the medical report says this palestinian girl is a direct victim of... mona, but she comes from area that counts 70% of cancer cases among the palestinian population.
7:25 pm
7:26 pm
israel is probably the sixth or even fifth nuclear power in the world, while others should open the doors of their nuclear programs for inspections, israel is a special case, producing nuclear weapons since the 60s without any control. meanwhile, the cancer cases and other diseases. are spreading across israel, palestine, and neighboring arab countries. the victims die without knowing what or who is killing them. 10 years of chaos and war in syria, the ruins left in syria. who benefits from the continuation of
7:27 pm
this? war: what is the view of the west, particularly america towards war in syria and the support of many countries for creating chaos in syria? why syria, a different narrative? she's going to get hit by a car. you really care about the lives lost here, you should on the less in fire in palestine. now that's all
