it's three thirty am in the russian capital good to have you with us as we look to take a look back at the week's news here on our team president obama reaffirms america's commitment to ratify the start nuclear weapons treaty and talks with president medvedev on the sidelines of the asia pacific summit in japan obama also reiterated u.s. support for moscow's trade to join the world trade organization. also this week leaders of the g twenty group agreed to try and avoid deliberate currency devaluations but the soul summit failed to come up with details measures to sort out global trade imbalances. arrests at least seven people in kosovo one charges of organ trafficking fuel theories of alleged organ theft by the kosovo liberation

army during the war in the late ninety's details of those case are due to be made public at the end of the month. and a russian newspaper reveals the man who it claims exposed ten russian agents expelled from the u.s. this summer they were reportedly betrayed by their own boss. now in our special report we take a look at the children of her condemned to suffer the nightmare of genetic defects they hope atomic history will never repeat itself it's coming your way next for. material the capital budget and the american military base by the slums bikini and attack the ground zero wrong lap contaminated and deserted. the marshall islands are scattered for hours southwest of honolulu this is no way from north america's plan if you but a paradise if one intends to test atomic bombs. all

. or or. all right not dangerous tell about the united states government now on strict turn this write this stuff good for worse and are suffering good form and i want to limit it i want to get it in a. little group with a lot. everything being on god help us figure out. 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 thousand kill it including the bravo test in one nine hundred fifty four fifteen megaton test thousand times more powerful and explosive yield than the hiroshima bomb. iran a normal yoshi one but there are no one and. it makes me angry that nobody knows what is your all my wrong what it is you. did to. march first thousand 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 by the wind blows towards the atoll of brown that. every member i'm on. yes i think so they don't. do a three day anybody notice sleeping. right

nights completely in my. when the lights go in thousand we've seen that thing goes down from. around the ground. like the sand like sand. and then don't when there is strong and blue eyes everywhere and the ground was moving say and we were so scared. with a bat they want to add to their lower body so we hide for several hours and when we've gained back we see the our white plains covered before and

while we get the powder. because nobody has not done the. turned out to be a lot more powerful than they expected. they didn't bother to move the wrong 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 to let people who 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 heard of it was called the lucky trick and. rushed. there and

if they had said. well it's six months the radio operator had died but the people in the lab they had a slow motion kind of effect they also had a lot of other. you know loss. and burn yes my mom. here with. her infant. you couldn't be unaware. but to. report in a way which. other cool were doing this until. it was through really. good some of it prickly. to. the natives and it is so. western history that it hardly. raises. the american media it became passionate about the overwhelming power of

bravo and complacent about the victims of the. 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 was 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. obviously the or the mention of what happened in her she meant what happened in the marshall islands is very different it was chronic exposure for many years that's one explosion just a megatonnage was thousands of times what happened so that's one aspect lot 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 know. 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 a monster like b. . and so many miscarriages and. reply foetuses and. my mom she has seven miscarriage and one time she had a baby and looked like a grave and that made me sad that i have an abuser 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 see 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 u.s. government and so the medical program provides ongoing monitoring for radiation related illness for the people on the lab and you do it if you have one quick test is so but. i mean yes birth defects. is about in that

age and it is a classic line implant and i think you have heard about the baby 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 to leave her the silly face to leave 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 survivors we don't trust we know. that they are in that us. i don't have any children of my own. three generations. 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 turned 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 majority she has given up hope of ever living on 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 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 during the japanese dead already in mass graves the nuclear arsenal claims more corpses than previously thought and it's not over. at the big disaster for us here in the marshes. there is no place for ice to i from the us because our let me stop there maybe.

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 average going to 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 could. i remember one time she went quiet for jews or one of her breasts. but she was selling need to go to class. and then she came back and i had to shout at her i go to one of the matter with you what is going on. he told minute he had

a man in one of the best so they had to. an operation 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 classic buy stock in men's they were declassified in one thousand and four if i remember correctly but we just got them. you know ninety eight or 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 x. that's when we first understood. for one purpose 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 a people that are receiving their 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 injured it was 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 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 up here to be. intimidated a war wiped on tammy. so that the castle probable shot the now everyone fires because they get in the abdomen and islands up. slowly in the fall. and. jump to bomb because it is. so easy. there are always save. everybody makes mistakes you know. every once in this but. something new planet for a long long time. that misty it was like. countdown i. and. it was like.

being there. were mostly my hips or minds. and in the name maybe even in bed. by. 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 top policy and being an anti-american. i think that would be counterproductive to our issues a relationship with me and i'm 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 i made right under their noses yes the islands are still at the heart of american military research with progeny at its 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 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. the first beginnings of the weaponization of space once we got the information. mr 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 walk and for 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 it's like an empty shell like to believe that is that his army but. how can we trust. 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 since i tell the story over

and over again to there were. i said to myself. what is my story is it wouldn't while or is there for everybody the relation to what if there is no money for the people up for el program then what i said share my body to the. little white people who experience. but do something for the people. in that my survival all over them i survive. and believe they need something in due time we don't do business for free i have the kind of family planning planned on and. perry my family by the way. you would

get that if syria wouldn't 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 their head that there were so many principles of international law which the nuclear weapon but it. we're gay male or granny no i haven't said i don't like the people you met in state it goes there are more like us in the maddest. those

famous for everyone only were not on time and that place i guess. it is my friend. who else is gone but former. were also 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 lap.

am. sure is that so much i was about the feeling that i think the argument really can be right with all the welfare state and long lived the welfare state the system is broken and bankrupt with almost no one taking responsibility.
