material a capital project in the american military base by a 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 from north america's clear if you but a paradise if one intends to test atomic bombs. all right. at the united states but now almost a journalist to write this if orders and good men. who don't know what it is you know the united.

everything being a. must be 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 there are no one at. a makes me angry that nobody knows what is your own life low level it is you. march

first one nine hundred fifty four and 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 laughed. at every memo and. yes i think some media. whether it or they only letting us sleeping. the right light 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 there is strong and true eyes everywhere and the ground was

moving say and we were so scared. we would be back there. i had to deliver id so we hide for several hours and when we came back we see our white things covered the full well we knew the powder. there's nobody to me. turned out to be a lot more powerful than they expected. they didn't bother to move the bronco people because. it was basically too complicated to just think they had to take by this time permission from the department of interior and frankly it was to spend something it was just but accident that we even found out

that that's wrong to let people who had been. the reason they found out was it with a japanese fishing trawler. that was also out there and they got dusted with radioactivity that drew the most headlines never heard of it was called the lucky trick on. rushed. there and. well it's six months the operator had died but the people in the lab they had a slow motion kind of effect they also had a lot of. did they tell you and burn yes my mom. learned from. you couldn't you know. but to. report in a way which. other cool were doing this until. it

was really. good some of prickly. to. the natives and it is so normal western history that it 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 balmy in who and nagasaki. obviously the all the mention of what happened in her she meant what happened in the marshall islands is very different was chronic exposure for many years that's one explosion just a megatonnage was thousands of times what happened there so that's one aspect of 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. raped by fetuses and. my mom she has seven miscarriage and one time she had a baby that looked like a great and that made me stand that i have a baby is an alien or it 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 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 on the lab and you do it if you have one quick test these . but i mean yes birth defects. is about getting ready and it is a classic line of plan and i think you have heard of other 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 in the plants mice in bacteria so if you follow that through then there probably is genetic things that are transmitted by you

know enough radiation a 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 these ads many a woman believe were those 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 backs on the second and third and fourth and so on generations.

in the plane war itself are some high risk we don't trust we know. that they are in that us. 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 when i was 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 wrong map the atmospheric testing spread reactivity 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 a strong two 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 dawud 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 lebanese stop them. now there's many many cases out there. for the women it's more morning in the wife's awareness because. it's true that women generally have a higher cancer risk averaged two of the girl 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. i remember one time she went quiet for jews or one of her breasts. but she was selling the she was going to class. 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 they had to and out ration and 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. i thought. ok these are are some of that the classified documents they were declassified in one thousand and four if i remember correctly but we just got them. you know ninety to ninety nine you know by until 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 was petroleum 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 really want to ryan to see the metabolism or really

right of our body and though children part of it there was a school for supposedly retarded children and 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 or peer to beat and eventually did a war what. so that the castle probable shot in the now everyone fires because they get in the end zone. slowly in the fog. and. jump the bomb because it is.

there are always said. everybody makes mistakes you know. everyone it's a mess but something new planet where. you don't acquire that mistake it was like. countdown i see. and. it was like. maybe they being there. for. school. and in the they maybe even in bed. like. the people of iran 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 chased 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 project at the epicenter. of the 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 lagoon or near. while hanging on to the dream of building an anti-missile shield the americans bombed progeny in 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 today in government under paul martin was committed secretly silently to becoming part of the american missile defense plans and many of us said he waited 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 against we forced it 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 luck efforts the u.n. disarmament commission to expand the outer space treaty to prevent militarization of space the lack of current discussions international about what all the planning in space is very bad you have one army of engineers are improving our cellular phones now communications in the world you 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 it's like an empty shell like to believe that is that his army but. how can we trust. that. 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 gave up i said this is my song. it was a mess 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 world. be able whitely. who we experience.

but do something for the people. in my survivor all over them. and least they need something in return we don't do business for free i have the kind of family planning. to. carry away and by the way can. you get that syria in the gulf. war. 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 gay man we're friendly not bad and said i don't like the people you met in state because there are more we want to like us in the maddest. this fame is for everyone or labor not contaminated place i guess. it is my friend. who else is going to fight for our. grass each 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.

well she's available in international hutto. don't leave the intercontinental hanoi westlake otoh shirts and. somerset sedona suite. coleslaw going to turn her ability to. determine time. in the. available in the island resort and spa. weapons of mass destruction that the u.s. is accused of feeding its stories about russia and china to divert attention from the orders at home. as washington's rhetoric takes the view that i salute you for a loop of the revelations in george bush's memoirs and to see what this widely criticized foreign policy. plus attempts at a new conciliation it's

a brick wall as he's rolled refuses to take down its west bank down the hall son are passionate on that. and how hundreds of thousands in vietnam are still suffering from birth decades after bluegrass seems a toxic brew to side with borat. they're washing our teeth coming to you live from the russian capital welcome to the program now china's sentiment spreading through the u.s. is being blamed on rhetoric whipped up in washington some officials warn america is risking a trade war with its biggest creditor if it keeps portraying beijing as an enemy but as are. reports china is not the only country the u.s. is casting as a bookie. thanks.
