fuels anti muslim sentiments in european states taking them in germany's new interior minister has become the latest politician to enter the immigration debate he says islam does not belong in europe. coming out party takes a look at a weapon that may strike down those from both sides of conflicts where it's used the possible dangers of depleted uranium explored up next. i am the sins. of the altruistic and my welcome children's but. i'm not sure if i can remember each time for you while i was always tired headaches would never go away what's very sensitive to the lights from oz and what the pain was just unbelievable that we would lead up like you know like fetuses in the bed in pain. i do have.

a friend i'm a bitch who desires i don't know we've lost all desire is gone i'm not as active as they used to be you know this about some talk about that. if you just go well surely i mean sub office niggling pains noone again but a sort of full ration to pain and pain all the same of the tumour was caused by the depleted uranium that was put into. what's because in the office they keep bringing up an issue that is not directly. it's to bring something else all you're getting all the guy or girl words and they just tell you any lies to cover up for the you wish.

for them i want i mean it was a cold morning. and my soul was in finance you know never forget the sojitz make us some local the way they held on to their families. and so much crime and. sadness. for me would be that she says. take care of my kids as if they were yours. i don't know how to fall back. thank god he's come back even if he was. with her because many of them didn't. which of the many mothers lost this summer. after veda

leopold dina's husband lives in the bronx in new york city he was sent to iraq in two thousand and three and was a sergeant and have been serving in a national guard unit for over twenty years in iraq became a military policeman he never saw a lot of combat. if this is. an error akki soldier is. everything to go off and this was a few months after being in iraq started feeling ill suffering from intense migraine headaches and muscular pain he was declared unfit for service was discharged and he returned home the piece still suffers from severe headaches fatigue and pain for months the arjun of his symptoms was a mystery he had some medical tests the results where he had been poisoned by depleted uranium a radioactive material that had been used in the war. more

of damage off has been arrested about fifty times it's always for the same reasons and he's about to do it again on this bitter cold morning in minnesota he's protesting for what he sees as a just cause he has fought many such peaceful battles in his lifetime he's even won some. i was a sax. freedom rides with. jackson. brass and back. and away to later we were signed. on crime the most obese by bros and brought

in maximum security. i was lying there we. as people were some freedoms. and i was crying. because they were punishing. the cows. everybody. sighs. i'm going to do this rush the guy my i'm gone look for the feeling. that's what motivates me. three below him and wrappings. they made oh hurry demon out.

me. and tried personnel land mines niggas heard news all it's in the world. now oh sure the first thing every wednesday morning rain or shine for the past ten years more and a group of fellow pacifists demonstrate outside the headquarters of this local armament company they remind people who went to p.t. do reining in weapons were used in the war in arrests and that this company still manufactures them. depleted uranium ore dehumanisation have been the subject of heated debate because of the secondary effects they may have on the health of troops and civilians. because we want the change we want nuclear abolition way while we're against the weapons of mass destruction like depleted uranium podcast or bombs they're going to

drive those stray should ideally says we should not use any drugs unless it is better clay safe had a test well where they played if you're ready and we do it just the other theory we go and use that as always i acknowledge they started to start saying yes that is. radio active. talk to the. dehumanisation zz were one of the most deadly and effective weapons in the first gulf war they are a kind of metallic arrow or bullet and are called penetrators they were launched by american tanks planes and helicopters and the result was that saddam hussein's

armor was destroyed in a matter of minutes. the penetrators are not explosives they are flesh ships or bullets like spindles of depleted uranium a very dense self igniting metal those characteristics and the enormous kinetic energy released by the penetrator on impact means do you rounds cut through tank armor like a hot knife through butter fragments of burning d'you penetrate the crew compartment and incinerate everything in their path. a few weeks ago at this veterans hospital in illinois doug a retired major in the united states army underwent an operation to remove cataracts from his eyes he's a veteran of both the first gulf war and the war in vietnam very clear that uranium

munitions would cause our injuries and our damage so what extensive exposures and i am again the uranium dust settling on the eye as a consequence over the years of developing cataract. in one thousand nine hundred ninety one when he was still in the army and after land combat in in kuwait. back roky was appointed to research the effects of the depleted uranium munitions that had been used for the first time officially in that war his unit's job was to clean out american tanks equipped with dehumanisation that had been destroyed by friendly fire i started getting sick in my team started getting sick within twenty four hours forty eight hours the first thing that showed up was respiratory problems u.s. department of veteran affairs has formally diagnosed as reactive barely disease dude occupational exposure to depleted uranium in my case and so we developed a rash on the rash of still would make it back to its rash right now is open and

bleeding. my guy started dying and i wish i would real serious medical problems i could get medical care. or ok took part in a study commissioned by the pentagon on the after effects of depleted uranium munitions but what the study found was at odds with the official line and roky ended up becoming an anti dui activist. no i'm not a peacenik i'm a warrior a wonder that finishing his job because as a person who was assigned responsibility to clean up the mess who was assigned the responsibility to do the research he was assigned a responsibility to write the army regulations which are formally adopted in absolutely required as you are sure who wrote the training programs i learned and what i learned scared. battlefields and fire are ok took part in the production of this video it was

filmed in one thousand nine hundred five four years after the first gulf war record to train soldiers presented it sends conflicting messages on the you in part one it points out the risks of toxic contamination of dust from these substances is swallowed or inhaled and it describes the hazards depending on how much. depleted uranium is an a.o. or gets under the skin heavy metal poisoning may occur which can cause damage to internal organs and tissues. health effects of ionizing radiation depend on whether it is alpha beta or gamma and if the radioactive material is inside or outside the body alpha is the least penetrating but is the most hazardous if it does get into the body heavy metals bind to d.n.a. we know that for a long time and heavy metals cause cancer and they probably cause it because of this binding to d.n.a. which disrupts the way the d.n.a.

can behave in the cell service. this century d.n.a. damaging agents. may be partially it is chemical and partially it is radiation then rush these effects are why the u.s. army recommends strong protective measures for their troops even though the film ends up minimizing the hazards of depleted uranium remember depleted uranium is not in immediate. life unless you're involved in a detonation or fire with depleted uranium hazards are relatively small. some units of the new york national guard were called up and sent to iraq after the invasion of two thousand and three gerard matthew went there with his unit their

job was to a scorched convoys. kind of the one who came home after the war and he started having headaches or get pissed easily irritated by the slightest thing that keeps me do he's changed a lot like you let me say something you've never had a headache that you have had six seven headaches a day and then if your task weighed almost fifty sixty i might i mean it's really debilitating and the headaches that you have so yes they're they're short spaced but they come and go. you know in another thing i guess he said bumps and skin see red here really here. ok here's a letter from. my finally a matthew got in touch with other veterans like hector vega who had similar symptoms all to test to see if they had been poisoned by depleted uranium a result or a surprise. he says. you have four to eight

times higher than the other soldiers. which makes you being the person that has the highest level. you know i said maybe that's the reason when my daughter came under way she gave. the couple has a baby girl who was born with a birth defect on one hand her mother is convinced that it is on account of gerard's exposure to dui. so yes i mean i mean what i saw deep down in my heart i knew that she was gone like that even yesterday because of something he had back on the business started looking for answers on the internet i mean but over the weekend i saw the baby i think i have the picture whose hand was identical to my daughter's when the money and iraqi baby that had been exposed to depleted uranium so by me for me that's was the proof of it is hand and the hands of that iraqi baby in fact schools by the theory.

natural uranium is made up of two isotopes ninety nine percent is you renamed to thirty eight point seven percent is the more radioactive uranium to thirty five. the nuclear industry uses isotopes separation to produce enriched uranium which contains a higher concentration of uranium to thirty five this enriched uranium is more radioactive the natural uranium and it's used in the manufacture of atomic weapons depleted uranium is the byproduct of this process it is less radioactive but it's still toxic and this is what used to make antitank weapons. do you weapons can also be made with uranium already used by nuclear power plants but in the process it is contaminated with the highly radioactive elements and

generated inside nuclear reactors this is a cheap way of getting rid of many tons of nuclear waste which otherwise would be very expensive to store safely. tucked in a barrel. the nuclear energy for ram is saying millions of millions of pounds own gain rid of your own nuclear waste. but the way spain that is so immoral you know early is immoral. i believe it's illegal to. use it because it's highly effective to fly straight it's highly lethal up on. getting a first shot one shot kill so taking it off the battlefield is not a but is not

a neutral act. it's an act that will cause will the loss of lives by taking away both protection and some per superbe weapon the pentagon is kind of oversold the importance of to put it right to defend the weapon if exaggerated the importance of it. but it was actually guided missiles have in particular hellfire missile destroyed about a third of all the iraqi tanks that were st. bernard roster held several positions in the pentagon during the clinton administration and he spent a number of years directing research into the so-called gulf war illness says. the pains of symptoms that are seen in people with gulf war illness are totally inconsistent with exposure to the tourney and so they came to the conclusions as has the united nations the e.u. . almost everybody who has looked at this in an unbiased scientific way

but at the plated uranium is not related to the unexplained illnesses that we saw in the first gulf war. thank you. i. this is the center of amman the capital of jordan among the shoppers are all hourly and two iraqi cancer specialists today they are sightseeing but they have come to a monster take part in an on call article congress sponsored by a large american pharmaceutical company here they will find out about the latest treatments for cancer but they will not be able to use them in iraq. we are triple and we are looking to people dying with boat any help from us or from others

we could say we are crippled and owens are tied together because we haven't got the first sees to treat our patients. both doctors work in for university hospital and they are taking part in a study funded by german universities to examine the soaring number of cancers in that iraqi province. as the. boy is one. its name is late and is contaminated his mother and father. you are in scranton it's depleted uranium as it is. of course we don't know whether this torch is down in japanese to learn it we don't . was or was the iraqi province in which you do you minissha as were most heavily

used. doctor are least says that radioactivity still lingers in many places he's convinced that this is what lies behind the increase in cancers some of which are very rare. cancers which are related to radiation. leukemias. as an soft tissue cancer is. increased. two alarming number on particularly cancer called malignant fibrosis just sidetone which is close to related to radiation. i got into low twenty five cases so it's some something strange and could give us clues to the fact of radiation on our patients but we should prove it.

another conflict in which the pleated you raney and weapons were officially used was the war in kosovo in one nine hundred ninety nine. in reprisal for ethnic cleansing policies against albanian coasts of ours nato planes bombed serbian forces and yugoslav infrastructure. in that campaign survey in armored tanks in vehicles were attacked with the human issues. a few months later the media reported an unusually high rate of leukemia and other cancers in the european veterans who had served in kosovo talian french spanish and

others the term balkan syndrome was coined several organizations began to call for a ban on de u.s. . naval had to call a meeting of the atlantic council to appease its allies once again the message was contradictory they had knowledge the risks but downplayed them. we are confident that there is little risk for dui munitions but we refuse to be complacent. existing medical consensus is clear the hazard from depleted uranium is both very limited and limited to very specific circumstances but nature is doing everything it can to ensure that relevant information is made publicly available and will have in pentagon experts have consistently denied that there is any cause and effect

relationship between depleted uranium and the so-called balkan syndrome just pledged most needed with already have agreed in the years since one nine hundred ninety nine no indications have been given as to whether or not any medical follow up has been done on the soldiers supposedly exposed to depleted uranium in kosovo and member states about the precautions to be taken when it comes to depleted uranium and the goal. we have not been able to see any indication of any medical problem from those who had the highest exposure who were in or on a vehicle that was struck with the polluted uranium complain about half the crew survived those hits after died and those who survived who have not been able to see any medical problem now in nine years later. and they had we know the highest exposure to the pleated uranium or of anyone to serve in the gold.

cultures that so much i know and which of course is life on its own and so here they are drawing battle lines over collective bargaining rights america's democracy and close to the line of fire but is this move the red tape rolled back. and said nature and discover is beezy. the communicate with the wild. test yourself and become free to. see what nature can give you the nazi. wealthy british style stock.
