a year since millions of barrels of oil spilled into the gulf of mexico causing widespread environmental consequences and health problems to coastal residents but even given the big move in dollars to clean up but the damage the people who are facts it's all left to struggle with worsening symptoms or g.'s going to chicken house the story. five million barrels of oil in combination with almost two million gallons of highly toxic chemical dispersants used to fight the oil spill a cocktail that contaminated not just the water in the gulf but found its way into people's blood a year after the disaster an environmental group tested lot of dozens of cleanup workers as well as residents of coastal areas they found levels of benzene thirty six times higher than normal or call for true blood in order to. arshavin truly want to work in the open or bomb a war. room or clayton mathur and work as

cause as dr robert shaw says either because they don't have the necessary prating or they don't want to be called. an environmental justice group polled residents in several coastal communities almost half said they have experienced health problems like coughing skin and eye irritation or headaches that are consistent with common symptoms of chemical exposure it's very clear when you look at the ingredients those is considered so. it is considered as rather a hazardous material coupled with the ingredients in the toxic dispersants and when you mix those together it actually creates an aura times more toxic and these are exactly the types of chemicals that are truly literally in people's blood many of the fact that gulf coast residents and those involved in. cleanup of the gulf a beer alone in their fight with the consequences of last year disaster marine

biologists are saying it's going to take at least twenty years for the gulf ecosystem to recover president obama signed the country's environmental agency to investigate health effects of the spill but many gulf coast residents are sure the agency will do its best to sweep the findings under the rug i'm going to check out reporting from washington our. professor richard steiner who is a marine conservation specialist a small percentage of the oil has been recovered but the operation will have little effect. there is a playbook that governments and they will industry use and major oil spills and that is to understate the size understate the impact and overstate the effectiveness of their response at exactly what the u.s. administration has done throughout the b.p. disaster because what they will industry has done and the truth of the matter is this was an enormous release of a toxic substance in a productive coastal system gammage was extensive it will be with us for years

unfortunately there's no effective way to respond well to a major release of oil in a marine environment they only recovered about three percent of the total volume of oil that escaped their containment efforts the consequences of the gulf of mexico oil spill are likely to stay on top of the area for years to come as is the case with another man made disaster. twenty five years on the legacy of her novel is there to remind the world of the worst nuclear catastrophe in history report form the exclusion zone. and it's a gotcha to have some land tied to waste profits as developed countries rushed to keep up with technology people in poor states all left to dig through absolute panic trying to trash to supply. has been a major breakthrough in the thoughts of terrorism in russia over the last week the country's security forces killed two not tory's extremists in the north caucasus

properly recycle a computer they can actually make the same amount if they ship it to a developing country like india were eager buyers think they can turn a profit on the goods delhi is fast becoming one of the biggest waste jumping sites in the world trash from developed countries comes here to india where those with few options for survival hope to cash in on this job and even though it's illegal under the basil convention to ship hazardous material to india companies define the junk as second hand goods or mixed models to customs officials to get away with it many countries feel that they need the second computers because they feel it's. true of vision in the country but what they get in exchange for that is really drug ravi outer wall is the director of toxic swing a group dedicated to protecting migrant workers from the dangers of electronic waste and the workers. putting strong suits exposing them.

a shuster pours the passing years haven't made the world's world's most infamous exclusion zone any safer. this still remains their world's biggest manmade nuclear disaster and it happened because of a failed experiment when the employees at the juggle nuclear power station tried to bring the reactor to exemplary stop and the experiment failed and resulted in an explosion the whole area around the lawns of thirty kilometer radius it was contaminated some parts of belarus and everywhere across the european cauldron traces of radiation were felt even reaching the east coast the united states indeed this is still remains a historical landmark still some people trying to draw parallels with fukushima accident nowadays but it's many experts agree that the accidents have been completely different not only in the causes of the disaster but also in the immediate aftermath because the levels of radiation which were detected injured in the chernobyl area twenty five years ago were or still much higher than the ones in

fukushima right now ukraine has managed to persuade several world countries to invest over five hundred million euros into building a new circle for this which would last for another hundred years it was safeguard the chernobyl reactor from anything more radiation to the atmosphere so indeed it's twenty five years old but the legacy of china will clearly lives on and the chernobyl story still making the headlines everywhere across the world but it's absolutely horrifying to be in the exclusion zone i've been a regular visitor the since i say two thousand five more over a recently went for there for a week to film a fresh documentary which obviously was would be able to see on monday and walking through these dead empty streets always gives me a creepy feeling despite that i've been there more than a dozen times the area is completely deserted and just thinking that this was once a communist paradise a role model city full of those who are living and working at the chernobyl nuclear power station now it's a completely deserted and lifeless this feeling is of course

a very frightful and horrifying indeed this area will never be inhabited again because the fallout period of many nuclear particles. can reach up to twenty thousand years and indeed we're just looking at the debts out of. the exclusion zone in general you realize how costly how costly a man's mistakes can be and that is definitely the main purpose of the exclusion zone right now to remind the world that such mistakes must be made again are selecting our shots reporting and to current plans to end their focus seem a crisis with a nine month inclosing from conflicts where the protective. cover count on nuclear power. explained why do you do maybe a little too ambitious. the first estimate that they can build the door in six months but i only have to remind you of. two crew or four channel before we have to first. before we have a second cycle because it's it's not something that's very easy to be done did for

also take a look longer than the six months because once a door is all the fuel needs to be removed and that is a very very complex operation and even then really. you could not get leave the radiation levels around fukushima the new cars station are sufficiently high to keep people out for also a very long time i think we will be able to compare that for these happening now in . unless you would remove the first metre of top shortstops all you always have higher radiation levels in the surroundings that are so high that people will not be able to live there for quite a long time. so you're with ours here because when we get inside on the trip into theologic we can leaks whistleblower war bradley manning from a leading un human rights representative.
