yes we have lines here in our t.n.x. we report on those born in the japanese cities hiroshima and nagasaki following the nuclear bomb attacks. material a capital project in the american military base by the slum bikini in any attack the ground zero. contaminated and deserted. the marshall islands are scattered for hours southwest of honolulu this is no way for north america's clay feet but a paradise if one intends to test atomic bombs. all right with the united states government now almost

a journalist to write its orders and there's something good for a man. if you don't know what it is you know the united. everything being and god help us we got. over the twelve years of testing thirty three of the sixty seven devices that were tested here were bigger than the largest one ever tested in the eighteen of them were what are called megaton level devices in other words. including the bravo test in one nine hundred fifty four fifteen megaton test thousand times more powerful and explosive yield than the hiroshima bomb. on hiroshima but then i would have. a makes me angry that nobody knows what is your

low level it is a little. bit. march first one nine hundred fifty four the islanders are amazed to see the sun rising in the west but this star is a thermonuclear bomb bravo irradiates the sky while the wind blows towards the atoll of around laugh. with every member i'm on. yes i think so we don't know. whether it but they only letting us sleeping. right nights completely who in my. when the lights go in thousand we've seen that thing goes down from. around the ground. like us and our lights.

and then the next pair is strong and true eyes everywhere and the ground was moving say and we were so scared. we would be back there to add eleven id so we hide for several hours and when we have game back we see you don't know why things are the full well we get the powder. there's no what he has to meet. turned out to be a lot more than they expected. they didn't bother to move the bronco people because. it was basically too complicated logistics they had to take by this time permission from the department of interior

and frankly it was expensive. it was just but accident that we even found out that that the people had been. the reason they found out was there was a little japanese fishing trawler. that was also out there and they got dusted with radioactivity that drew the most headlines and never it was called the lucky trick on. rushed. there and. well it's six months the operator had died but the people. they had a slow motion kind of effect they also had a lot of. them burned yes my mom sisters. are in from here. you couldn't you know.

but to. report in a way which are very. cool we're doing this until. really . good some of it prickly. to. the natives. who. western history didn't hardly. reason is. the american media became passionate about the overwhelming power and complacent about the victims of the cold. this is not the case for the scientific community. was they got the news they sent a team of doctors to examine the wrong people and they did this continuously and are still doing that because they are such a living example of what it is like to experience them

a bomb with the actual explosion so the wrong people are much more of an example for the rest of the world than the actual bomb me in her and nagasaki. obviously the dimension of what happened in her shemale what happened in the marshall islands is very different was chronic exposure for many years that's one explosion just a megatonnage less of times what happened then so that's one aspect people say well you can't really compare that because. there's just a difference in the whole sequence of events and the amount of radiation that happened when broadcast was a big watershed in the new year many scientists became concerned and actually i think a lot of the movement to stop nuclear weapons testing wasn't about the future of the bomb it was actually an environmental and health concern that this thing is

affecting us and our children every day. they started to give birth to monster like b. . and so many miscarriages and. rape like fetuses and. my mom she has seven miscarriage and one time she had a baby and looked like a crate and that make me sound that i have a babysitter is an alien or is not even a human being. in december two thousand and five the marshallese presented the american government with pictures of deformed babies born with gray hair and without ears the baby survived for only a few weeks the abnormal births that you've seen photographs of of recent

children i don't know that those can be attributed to any exposure but no one is investigating to find out are they in general radiogenic or are they caused by something else that's a question that may well remain unanswered. i am part of a program that the department of energy is involved in an apartment energy is part of the u.s. government and so the medical program provides ongoing monitoring for radiation we gave it as for the people wrong the lab you do it if you have one quick test these . but i mean yes birth defects. is about they're getting into and there is a classic line of it and i think you have heard about the people like that even but . i'm not sure if you're familiar with the bear seven report in this report it did say very clearly that there's genetic mutations that are changed biologically by

radiation and they've shown it plants mice in bacteria so if you follow that through then there probably is genetic things that are transmitted by you know enough radiation how much radiation that takes it didn't comment in there but in your mind you know being a woman would that affect your children i can see from that there are seventy four and i don't know. it's never been showed to see yes but it's also been never shown to see not. mainly by saying of the woman who has ms adds many a woman the luger the silly face the legal guy you know why is ninety points and why is that why i never i never even. close do you know that just because of the radiation rains when the survivors are told that their children. have no genetical effects of radiation has no genetic facts on the second and third

and fourth and so on generations. in their plain words are far worse we don't trust we know. that they are teaching that. i don't have any children or my own. the only difference. the boys. to me she's my mother i mean she might have me in my blood one of which she says a reason i turn out to be like this. i want to be something i want to do something for my people because i know she is and how hard life. evelyn is homesick so when she can she visits her mother who lives in majeure oh she has given up hope of ever living on the wrong map the atmospheric testing spread radioactivity throughout the

world mainly in the northern hemisphere not only near the test sites but all over the world and we are still living with the long lived radioactive legacy of that fallout we still have strong from ninety in the dirt we have cesium one thirty seven we have plutonium and in the air we have carbon fourteen and it gets into the food and so every time we eat we have a little bit of the legacy of atmospheric testing. the national cancer institute indicates that the testing of nuclear weapons by both the united states as well as the soviet union and the other countries a test of nuclear weapons has by the year two thousand resulted in approximately four hundred thousand people who either have died will die prematurely of cancer. no space or time can stop the bombs rippling effects it's

a boomerang drifting with the winds and the wind. down to reste disappear hundreds of thousands of victims joined the japanese dead already in mass graves the nuclear arsenal claims more corpses than previously thought and it's not over. it's a big disaster for us here in the marshes. there is no place for ice to i from. it's because our let me stop there because. now there's many many cases out there. for the women it's more morning in the rice awareness plays. it's true that women generally have a higher cancer risk average going to grow children are a lot more vulnerable than any other part of the population so especially in regard

to iraq cancer. if i remember the number right at about one hundred times the risk of adult males from the same relation to. its fire or remove nine hundred eighty one could not i remember one time she went quiet for jews or one of her breasts. but she was selling the she was going to clash. and then she came back and i had to shout at her i got it was the matter with you what is going on. he told minute he had a man in one of a bestial the end to. an operation and then get him. in the early and mid ninety's when the us started to declassify a lot of the information about the testing program that had been classified as secret top secret. better understanding of the effects of radiation was developed.

secrecy and classified documents belong to the tradition of the world's armies especially when their actions could prompt lawsuits over millions of dollars in compensation from their governments ok share. these are on such all that the classified documents they were declassified in one thousand nine hundred four if i remember correctly but we just got them. you know ninety two ninety nine you know by and like simple boxes at one time there was this project call four point one the united states wanted to learn or make a study on radiation effects on human beings and so

that all of these people were chosen. to be used as guinea pigs the rationale in part was that and this is quoting from the brookhaven report of one nine hundred fifty eight greater knowledge of such effects on human beings is is badly needed such as the habitation of these people on the island will afford most valuable ecological radiation data on human beings. various radio isotopes present can be traced from the soil through the food chain and into the human beings where the tissue an organ distribution biological half lives and excretion rates can be studied they have to bring in some people from an. experiment started to get their picture name with their i.d.'s and use them as an ox that's when we first understood. for one prize x. . we know that chronic low dose exposure will increase to some extent the incidence

of leukemia and cancer of the skin but we are in a region that we really know very little about in regard to human effects one of things about good health care is the people that are receiving the health care at the first of all trust in what they're trying to do and trust involves historical context of it and so i think there were definite trust issues. the department of energy stacks more than three million cubic feet of studies on radiation the scientists were so fascinated by this research that from one nine hundred forty seven until the seventies they conducted experiments on the american population itself. people were injected with plutonium though some of the leading health institutions in the united states the stated purpose of many of these experiments were to devise ways to protect people from radiation exposure we haven't seen any as far as i could i could recall any really useful information or

they came out of these pregnant women were given radioactive iron to see the metabolism of radioactive our body and though children part of it there was a school for supposedly retarded children and a radioactive cereal was fed to these children the president of the health physics society was asked would you give this radioactive cereal to your children and he said of course not and so this is the problem of of places like we're all alone there's travel of immediate us you have feared to be intimidated a war what contamination. so that the castle probable shot in the now everyone fires because they get in the abdomen. slowly in the fall.

and. jump the bomb because it is. so easy. they're always said. everybody makes me you know. every once in this but. something new planted. it on the car that misty it was like. countdown i guess. and. it was like. maybe then being there. in the marsh land where most like it or. in the they may have maybe been in bed. by.

the people of brown that have been engaged in talks with the united states and they still hope that justice will prevail but the superpower frightens. i don't believe in a confrontational policy and being an anti-american. i think that would be counterproductive to our issues than our relationship with united states i believe that americans should provide all the health care to the marshallese people because they are responsible for the testing they contaminated our islands. so far we have negotiated with them it didn't work out it's not helping much. as the wrongly piece chase after a health program and the decontamination of their island huge expenditures are made right under their noses yes the islands are still at the heart of american military research with progeny at the epicenter. was an able base and its support of the

testing during the eighty's when the star wars program came into effect questions importance was raised again it became what has been referred to as the catcher's mitt where rockets fired from vandenberg air force base in california would land in the mirror. while hanging on to the dream of building an anti-missile shield the americans bombed progeny for more than twenty years but this sort of nuclear umbrella which cost the american taxpayers about ten billion dollars every year is also very controversial because the united states doesn't hide its intention to install interceptors in space as you know the canadian government under paul martin was committed secretly silently to becoming part of the american missile defense plans and many of us said hey wait a minute this really isn't about missile defense this is really about. first

beginnings of the weaponization of space once we got the information of the sort of sixty five percent favored it was sixty five percent again we forced him to the us the americans that we can use no thank you very much we were going to be part of it the u.s. has unilaterally walk efforts the un disarmament commission to expand the outer space treaty to prevent militarization speech the lack of current discussions international about what all the planning in space is very bad i only have one army of engineers are improving our cellular phones now communications in the world have another army of engineers are planning a whole always to destroy what's going on up there. they tell us that it's a big boy it's nothing like an empty shell like to believe that is that his army but. how can we trust.

him now. we have to tell our story because we are a product of nuclear weapons we want to tell the world that these are the consequences. i said i almost. i said this is my song. it was in this that i tell the story over and over again to the were. i said to myself. what is my story is it wouldn't while or is there for everybody to listen to what if there is no money for the people are wrong not for program then what i said share my body to the work. be able whitely.

who we experience. but do something for the people. in that my survival all over them i survive. and believe they need something in return we don't do business for free i have the kind of family fighting where donna is faring well and by the way can. you get that seriously want me to go back. in one thousand nine hundred six the testimony of lesion at night before the international court of justice sealed the fate of nuclear weapons on july eighth the panel of judges declared the threat or use of nuclear weapons in general is

contrary to the norms of international law included in the law of war. or the judges of the court were unanimous in their opinion that the nuclear weapon should be exterminated from the centers of the wood and there is that there were so many principles of international law which the nuclear weapon but it. we're going there were rarely went back and said i don't like the people and you're mad at the state because there are more like us in the room and it's. those famous for everyone or labor not contaminated place i guess. it is my friend. who else is going to fight for. us it's one of five for the survivors on their kids. there

was neither anger nor hatred in the survivors voices just pain the nuclear powers are lucky these voices are too weak to prevent these arsenals from re-emerging in military strategies the international court of justice is a moral authority and its opinion has had no effect on countries that depend on the atom bomb for their power so between the time they did images of the victims and disregard for the future we are counting on the survivors descendants to intervene . but beyond mucky or evelyn who can say who is not living with the legacy of hiroshima or wrong clap. i am.

sure is the same of charging for you are part of the model for the taliban bad guys republican party to make itself felt in washington. how will this impact u.s. foreign policy in the ongoing war in afghanistan.
