nine thirty am in moscow here r.t. headlines russians in may have finally killed the man who was the main reason behind a decade long war in afghanistan but it's doing little to silence critics who say the operation is stuck fast in a quagmire. fresh nato airstrikes hit the libyan capital overnight but still a little sign of progress for either side of the conflict it's prompting more talk about coalition ground troops going in but experts say the move could spike the death toll enormous. wants guarantees the new u.s.

plans for part of a missile shield in romania pose no threat to its own deterrent this as russia and nato are in the middle of talks over a common missile defense in europe. a nuclear weapons were first used in one thousand nine hundred five to change the world forever our film children of armageddon see if such a tragedy could ever happen again stay with us. material the capital budget and the american military base by islam bikini and any attack to ground zero wrong not contaminated and deserted. the marshall islands were scattered for hours southwest of honolulu this is no way from north america's policy but a paradise if one intends to test atomic bombs. all .

alright that game is telling them that the united states government now wants to turn left right this stuff good for worse and are suffering good form and i want to live with on what will be a nice. little group with. everything being and god have a good. over the 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 fillets including the bravo test in one nine hundred fifty four fifteen negative test thousand times

more powerful and explosive yield than the hiroshima bomb. in a normal year she mumbled in a no one at. a makes me angry then nobody knows what is your all night long what it is i need. this. much first nine hundred fifty four the islanders are amazed to see the sun rising in the west but the star is a thermonuclear bomb bravo irradiates the sky other wind blows towards the atoll a brown laughed. again and then on. yes i think some media. was it eight or. anybody was sleeping. right nights completely and my.

one that a light. call in thousand we've seen the plane goes down from the sky now around the ground. later sam. sam. and then the unions there is strong and blue eyes everywhere in the crown was moving. and we were supposed to hear. it back you had to id so we hide for several years and when we in fact we don't know why things covered before well we knew the power there's no ready has now.

turned out to be a lot more powerful than expected. they didn't bother to move the runkle out people because they said oh well it was basically too complicated logistics they had to take by this time permission from the department of the tear year and frankly it was the spell check. it was just by accident that we even found out that that won't let people open powder. the reason they found out was it with a little japanese fishing trawler. that was also out there and they got dusted with radioactivity that drew the most headlines i never heard of it was called the lucky trick on. the american government rushed dr so but there. it had drought they said they'll be ok in a month well it's six months the radio operator had died but the people in rockaway

they had a slow motion kind of effect they also had a lot of other form of you know along with us that they'd kill you and burn yes my mom sisters you here with all her infant you know. you couldn't you know we're a. good. report and we weren't sure. we're doing this for. free. some of the problems we're pregnant. but clear. and it is so. normal through history. her. reasons for. the american media became passionate about the overwhelming power of bravo and complacent about the victims of the cold war. this is not the case for the scientific. was they got the news they sent

a team of doctors to examine the wrong people and be good this continuously and are still doing it because they are such a living example of what it is like hugh it's three of them a bomb with out the actual explosion so the rumble people are much more of an example for the rest of the world than the actual bomb me in a rush but not a snarky. obviously the invention of what happened in her seem what happened in the marshall islands is very different it was chronic exposure for many years that's one explosion just a bigger tonnage was thousands of times when after the mission was so that's when asked a lot of people say well we can't really compare that because. there's just a difference in the whole sequence of events and the amount of radiation that apple broadcast was

a big watershed in the. many scientists became concerned and actually i think a lot of a movement to stop nuclear weapons testing wasn't about the future of the wall it was actually an environmental and health concern that this thing is affecting us and our children every day. they started to get bird to monster like be. so many miscarriages and. rape like fetuses and. my mom has seven miscarriage and one time she had a baby and looked like a crate and that made me sad that i have a abuses or alien or it's not even a human being. in december two thousand and five the marshallese presented the

american government 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 of recent children i don't know that those can be attributed to any exposure and no one is investigating to find out are they in general radiogenic or are they caused by something else that's a question that they will remain unanswered. i am part of a program that the compartment of energy is involved in the department of energy for the u.s. government and still the medical program provides ongoing monitoring for radiation related illness for the people on the lab and you do it if you have one test is there but for me yesterday for us. it is about getting right into me and it is a classic line of it and i think you have heard about it people like me even. i'm not

sure if you're familiar with a pair seven report in this report it did say very clearly that it is genetic mutations that are changed biologically by relation and they've shown it plants mice in bacteria so if you follow that through then there probably is genetic instead of transmitted by you know you know free shit how much radiation that takes it didn't comment in there but in your mind you know being a woman were that affect your children i could 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 ever shown to see no. name of the woman who has his hair it's many a woman to leeward of the silly face to leave a girl for any guy you know why is ninety eight was and why is that right i never i

never even. close to you know if it's because of the radiation thing it's one of the survivors are told that their children. have no genetical effects of radiation has no genetic effects on the second and third and fourth and so on generations. in their plane moments of are so high risk we don't trust we know. that there are genetic. i don't have any children or my own about three children. the war isn't. to me she's mine but my mother i mean she might i mean my blood on them but she's a reason i turn out like this i want to be something i want to do something for my

people because i know she is and now our life evelyn is home sick so when she can she visits her mother who lives in the general she has given up hope of ever living on wrong map the atmospheric testing stage really right to going to throughout the world mainly in the northern hemisphere not only near the test sites but all over the world and we're still living with a long lived radioactive legacy of that fallout we still have strength 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 a legacy of atmospheric testing. 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 a possibly four hundred thousand people who with your. dog will dog prematurely of cancer. no space or time can stop the bombs rippling effects it's a boomerang drifting with the winds going. down to reste disappear hundreds of thousands of victims during the japanese dead already in mass graves a nuclear arsenal claims more corpses than previously thought and it's not over. it's a big disaster for us here in the marsh. there is no place for us to write from the way it's because our let me start a family. now there's many many cases of cancer. for the women it's more morning in the us awareness.

it's true that women generally have a higher cancer risk aboriginal. 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 a hundred times the risk of adult males from the same relationships. it's fire or remove the nine hundred eighty one clip. i remember one time she went to watch for children for one of her breasts. but she was selling she was going to class check up and then she came back and i had to charge it here i got it was the matter with you what is going on. and she told minute he had a man in one of the best of the engine and out ration 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 sure. i thought. ok these are are not all that they classify sacraments they were declassified in one thousand and four if i remember correctly but we just got them. you know ninety either ninety nine people by and like circle fusses at one time it was this project or four point zero one

p. nine s. the. wanted to learn or make a study on radiation effects on human. 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 book even a report of one nine hundred fifty eight greater knowledge of such effects on human beings is is barely needed such as perhaps a taishan of these people on the island will afford both 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 their brain some he will from a to experiment started to keep their picture

neat with their eyeballs and use them as a given books that's when we purchase and then stood there for 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 our trust in what they're trying to do and i a trust involves historical context of it and so i think there were definite trust the shins. the department of energy stacks more than three million cubic feet of studies on radiation the scientists were still 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 that 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 anyone as far as i could i could recall any real useful information or they came out of these pregnant women were given really wanted to write you to see the metabolism or the right of our body and go children part of it there was a school for supposedly retarded children and a really rotten cereal with fed to these children and the president of the health physics society was asked would you give this really rank and serial to your own children and he said of course not and so this is the problem of of places like world unless there's travel of immediate us appeared to be tight and eventually did a one way contamination. so they're the class of travel shark

not everyone fires because it in the end on the islands of warm up slowly in the far. south to bondi business. they're always say. everybody needs means you know every once in this but something you planted for a long long time. that misty it was. countdown i see. and. it was there. maybe being there. and work. it or monster.

in the. navy been there react like they are. 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 front page general policy and being an anti american. i think that would be counterproductive to our issues than our relationship with the united states i believe the americans should provide all the character the marshallese people because they are responsible for the testing they contaminated our lands. so far we have a negotiator with them it didn't work out it's not helping much you know 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 that at its epicenter. was little was unable 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 in your marginal. while hanging on to the dream of building an anti-missile shield the americans bombed kajang 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 interceptions in space as you know jane

a government under called work was committed secretly silently and becoming part of the american missile defense plans and many of us said he would read this really isn't about missile defense this is really about. the first beginnings of the weaponization of space once we got the information. is still sixty five percent favored it was sixty five percent against we forced it to those the americans that we can use no thank you very much we were going to be part of the us because you want the function. to stand the arms very strong. translation strange the lack of current discussions international about what all the planning in space is very bad i only have one army of engineers who are improving our cellular phones and our communications with the world have another army of engineers are planning the whole are we to destroy what's going on up there

. it's almost back to it's a big boy it's nothing like an empty shell like to believe that he's at his army but. i can we trust. that. we have to tell our story because we are a product of nuclear weapons we want to tell the world these are the consequences. i said i almost. i said this is my song. it was in this tell the story over and over again to the were. i said to myself. what is my story is it worth while or is there for everybody to listen to

or if there is no money for it other people are wrong or program then what i said share my body. right. thruout spirit. but do something for the people. in the marseilles. all over them. and believe they need something every time we are in the business for free i have the crime family planning. to. carry my country and finally my country there are. no ordinary about syria in the gulf. war.

in one thousand nine hundred six the testimony of lesion etna language for 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 arsenals of the word and their head that there were so many principles of international law it's the nuclear weapon but it didn't work and they were rarely look they haven't said i don't like you for that and you're mad at the state because there are more like us in the first. place payments for everyone only when a compliment that place i guess. it

is my friend. who else is one of four. who ask each one of my for the survivors on their kids. there was neither anger nor hatred in the survivors voices just pain and nuclear powers unlucky 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 dated 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 crap. the the end.
