4:33 pm
islands are scattered for hours southwest of honolulu it is no way from north america's policy but a paradise if one intends to test atomic bombs. all . all right james tell us about the united states government now all of us to turn this right it's it's a worse embers up in good form and i want to live up to the one we're. not. ready with. everything being and god help us because.
4:34 pm
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 other eighteen of them were what are called megaton level devices in other words a thousand little including the bravo test and one nine hundred fifty four fifteen megaton test thousand times more powerful and explosive yield than the hiroshima bomb. in lead a normal on your humor but there are no and. it makes me angry that nobody knows the history on my own what it is. to. march first thousand nine hundred fifty four the islanders are amazed to see the sun rising in the west but a star is a thermonuclear bravo irradiates the sky by the wind blows towards the atoll and from that. again never mind. yes i think some may gun.
4:35 pm
was it a plane. anybody was sleeping. right alex completely and my. when the lights go in thousand we've seen that the goes down from. now around and around. like the sun color like the sun. and then the union there is still the wise everywhere and the crown was moving sake and we were so scared. we would be back there are five eleven rightly so we hide for
4:36 pm
several hours and when we end that we see those out white plains cover of a falling well we have the power because nobody tell us natalie. turned out to be a lot more powerful than they expected. they didn't bother to move the bronco about people because they said oh well 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's the plan to let people have been part of. the reason they found out was it 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
4:37 pm
lucky trick on. the american government rushed doctors over there and the head doctor said oh well that will be ok in a month well it's six months the radio operator had died but the people in iraq unless they had a slow motion kind of the fact they also had a lot of another form of the you know loss what else did they tell you and burn yes my mom sisters you there were no one from your mom. couldn't you know we're. we which are very. cool we're doing this until. really. what sort of a president. who.
4:38 pm
is trying. hard. reasons. 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 the good is continuously and are still doing it because they are such a living example of what it was like q if i may bomb with the actual explosion so the wrong people are much more of an example for the rest of the world than the actual bomb me in who. obviously the dimension of what happened in her scene or what happened in the marshall islands is very different it was chronic exposure for many years as one explosion just
4:39 pm
a megatonnage was falzon of times when after the machine was 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 after the broadcast was in people watershed in the. 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 war it was actually an environmental and host concern that this thing is affecting us and our children every day. they started to give birth to monster like. so many miscarriages and. gray like fetuses and.
4:40 pm
my mom and seven miscarriage and one time she had a baby and looked like a crate and that made me stand because they don't have a babysitter or is an alien. it's 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 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 the arm and energy is part of the u.s. government and so medical program provides ongoing monitoring for radiation related
4:41 pm
illness for the people around the lab and you do it if you have a likely this is about but i mean yes with effects. it is about the kid right into me and it is a classic line of it and i think you have heard about people like that even met i'm not sure if you're familiar with a bear seven report in this report it and see it very clearly that it is genetic mutations that are changed biologically by the ship and they've shown it plants mice in bacteria so if you follow that through then there probably is genetic instead 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 show to see yes but it's also been ever shown to
4:42 pm
see you know. maybe by said of the woman no i'm wrong is that it's many a woman believe were those silly face so you go for any guy you know why is nine it was and why is that right i never i never even. close to your case because there really isn't things 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 their plain words are far person by person we don't trust we know. that there are genes that. i don't have any children of my own
4:43 pm
are about the only difference. towards them. to me she's my mother and she might have me in my life on the list she's there 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 our our life evelyn is home sick so when she can she visits her mother who lives in the jury. she has given up hope of ever living i'm wrong that the atmospheric testing spread really were committee 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 far out we still have strength from ninety in the dirt we have cesium one thirty seven we have petroleum and in the air we have carbon fourteen
4:44 pm
and it gets into the food every time we eat we have a little bit of the legacy of atmospheric testing. the national cancer institute indicates the testing of nuclear weapons by both the united states as well as the soviet union and the other countries are tested nuclear weapons has by the year two thousand resulted in approximately four hundred thousand people and 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 and the wind. down to risk disappear hundreds of thousands of victims during the japanese dead already a mass graves the nuclear arsenal claims more corpses than previously thought and it's not over. but the disaster for us here in the marshes.
4:45 pm
there is no place for ice to i from very it's because our lebanese family. now they are so many in many cases i can't say. for the women it's more mourning in the why squareness case. but it's true that women generally have a higher cancer risk average we truly grown 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 clue. i remember one time she went quiet for jesuit one of her breasts. and she was telling
4:46 pm
the she was going to question checkup and then she came back and i had a shot at her i graduated the matter with you what went on. and she told minute she had a man in one of a vessel to an outrage in and in get him. in the early and mid ninety's when the us started to declassify a lot of 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 think. these are are some call that the classic i started
4:47 pm
men's they were declassified in one thousand and four if a member correctly but we just got them. you know ninety eight or ninety nine they don't buy and they are like several of us is on time there was this project all four point one the united states wanted to learn to make a study on radiation effects on human beings and so that all of these 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 hundred fifty eight greater knowledge of such effects on human beings is is barely needed such as the habitation of these people on the island will afford most valuable ecological radiation on human beings. various
4:48 pm
radioisotopes present can be traced from the soil through the food chain and into the human beings where the tissue and organ distribution biological half lives and excretion rates can be studied they had to bring in some he moved from a to experiment started to get their picture nate ruess their ideas and use them as and . that's why we were in progress and they 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 were in a region that we really know very little about in regard to human effects one of things about the health care is the people that are receiving their health care i think first of all trust in what they're trying to do and prayer trust involves historical context of that and so i think there were definite trust the shins. the
4:49 pm
department of energy stacks more than three million plus 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 with petroleum though some of the leading the health institutions in the united states the stated purpose of many of these extra minutes were to devise ways to protect people from radiation exposure we haven't seen it in as far as i can i can't recall any really useful information where they came out of these pregnant women were given really right to ryan to see the metabolism regrettable. and though children part of it there was a school for supposedly retarded children. radioactive cereal was fed to these children and the president of the health physics society was asked would you keep
4:50 pm
this radioactive cereal pay your children and he said of course not and so this is the problem. of places like wrong there's proud of immediate also appeared to be turned into middle aged a long way contamination that. show that the class of probable shark remembered when fire because it in the end all dials up. slowly in the far. up the bond it is is. there always save. everybody needs means you know. every once in this thread something you planted a long long. car that misty it was right. around
4:51 pm
town i see and. it was there. maybe even being that people here in a marsh land are most like it or. in the neighbor you may be in bed we are in the right 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 confrontational policy and being an anti-american. i think that would be counterproductive to our issues than a relationship with united states i believe that americans should provide all the
4:52 pm
health care to the marshallese. because they are responsible for the testing they contaminated our audience. 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 they 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 project at its epicenter. it was an able base and it supported 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 on your postulate. while hanging on to the dream of building an
4:53 pm
anti-missile shield the americans bombed cartooning for more than twenty years but this sort of nuclear umbrella which cost the american taxpayers about ten billion dollars every year it's also very controversial because the united states doesn't hide its intention to install interceptors in space as you know they government under paul martin was committed secretly silently and becoming part of the american missile defense plans and many of us said hey wait a minute this really isn't about missile defense and says really about the first beginnings of the weaponization of space once we got the information to the public instead of sixty five percent favored it was sixty five percent against we forced it to the americans but weakening as no thank you very much we weren't going to be part of it you were serious you walked in front of us. to stand there our space treaty from the presidential speech the lack of current
4:54 pm
discussions international about what all the planning in space is very bad i mean you have an army of engineers are improving our cellular phones and are going indications in the world you have another army of engineers are planning a how are we to destroy what's going on up there. well they tell us that it's a big boy it's nothing it's like an empty shell like to believe that is that and. 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. i said this is
4:55 pm
my old style. it was since that tell the story over and over again to there were. i said to myself. what is my story is it wouldn't while order is there for everybody to listen to or if there is no money for it or people are wrong i or l. program then what i said share my body to the work you rightly. kuwait's here. but do something for the people. and not my style. all over the market right now. and least they need something in return. to business for free. i have the kind of family like i don't. carry my countrymen
4:56 pm
but in my country there are a good but i've. got the syrian army. in one thousand nine hundred six the testimony of lesion economic and for the international court of justice sealed the fate of nuclear weapons on july eighth a 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 eyes of those of the word and there is that there are so many principles of international law it's the nuclear weapon bad idjit. we're gay male or rarely you know i haven't seen it i don't know if you will open
4:57 pm
your mouth and state because there are more cuts in the movement as. this pain is for everyone only we're not implemented that place i guess. it is my fault. who else is gonna work. we ask each one of five of 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 period images of the victims and disregard for the future we are counting on the survivors descendants to intervene
4:58 pm
4:59 pm
style. that's not the type of. markets why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike skies or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause a report on our key question is that so much of an oldish musician the person on the mark when the killing of osama bin ladin when he's changed us president for off obama says justice has been done and that the world is better and a safer place. download the official anti allegations your i phone no i pod touch from the i choose out still.
