7:30 pm
as long paul said you're not having fun not. a moment when the world has changed forever. thousands pounced to nothing. thousands wounded. men doomed to suffer didn't even learn. was the first but probably not the landstuhl military uses of this weapon.
7:31 pm
many more will be come. home come on get on in the future. fish. fish fish. fish.
7:32 pm
mature of the capital roger than the american military base he by a slum a kenyan and we tax the ground zero. contaminated and deserted the marshall islands and scattered for our southwest economists this is no way from north america's clean view but a paradise if one intends to test atomic bombs. right . now or. right.
7:33 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 eighteen of them were what are called mega time little devices in other words thousand killed including the bravo test in one nine hundred fifty four fifteen megaton chest thousand times more powerful and explosive yield than the hiroshima bomb. in one a normal yoshi moment in or know what happened. in makes me angry then when you
7:34 pm
know what is your all night long what it is you. did. march first one hundred fifty four the islanders are amazed to see the sun rising in the west but the star is a thermonuclear bravo irradiates the sky other wind blows towards the atoll a front. with every member on. yes i think some media and. later a three day anybody who is sleeping. right writes completely who and my. mind that light skin color and balance we've seen that they goes down from the sky
7:35 pm
now around the crown. legace sent our latest son. and then the unit there is strong and blue eyes everywhere and the crown was moved to say. we were students came. back they. had to id so we hide for several years and when we came back we simply don't know why things covered before in. the hour has now what it has now for me it. turned out to be a lot more powerful than expected. they didn't bother to move the bronco let people because they said oh well it was basically too complicated
7:36 pm
logistically it had to take by this time permission from the department of the cure you and frankly it was the spell check. it was just by accident that we even found out that that that won't let people have been powdered. 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 lucky trick on. the american government rushed dr silver there and it helped out they said that they'll be ok in a much well it's quite sick radio operator had died but the people in the wrong the lab they had a slow motion kind of effect they also had a lot together for maybe their last. if they kill you and burn yes my mom sisters you here with all learn from here. you couldn't be unaware of what
7:37 pm
was reported but. what you reported in a way which are very. cool doing this and so from. your own. relationship. and some of the prickly. natives it is so. normal and. horribly. reasons. the american media became passionate about the overwhelming power and complacent about the victims of the cold war. 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 be good this continuously and are still doing it because they are such living
7:38 pm
example of what it is like to experience them a bomb with out the actual explosion so drunk that people are much more of an example for the rest of the world than the actual balmy in a rush but. obviously they are all the invention of what happened in her shemale what happened in the marshall islands is very different was chronic exposure for many years that's one explosion just a bigger tonnage was thousands of times what happened in russia so that's one aspect of our 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 regional apple will broadcast was a big watershed in the. many scientists became concerned and actually i think a lot of the movement to start nuclear weapons testing wasn't about the future of the war it was actually an environmental and health concern that this thing is
7:39 pm
affecting us and our children every day. they started to keep or to monster like aig. so many miscarriages and. rape like fetuses and. my mom has seven miscarriage and one time she had a baby that looked like a crate and that made me stand but i have a abuses or it is an alien or is 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 a baby survived for only a few weeks the abnormal births you've seen photographs of of recent
7:40 pm
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 may well remain unanswered. i am part of a program that the department of energy is involved in the department of energy is part of the u.s. government and so the medical program provides ongoing monitoring for radiation related of this for the people around the lab and you do it if you have one this is about break i mean yes birth defects now. it's about getting into me and it is a classic line of it and i think you have heard about people like that even play it right i'm not sure if you're familiar with the player seven report in this report it did see very clearly that there's genetic mutations there are changes
7:41 pm
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 enough radiation a much radiation that takes it didn't comment in there but in your mind you know being a woman will that affect your children i can see from the bare seventy four i don't know. it's never been short to see yes but it's also been ever shown to see no. mainly i said of the woman no i'm wrong is that it's nearly a woman to leave her those silly face so you go for any guy you know why is ninety was why is that right i never i never even. close to you know that it's because of the radiation thing it's one of the survivors are told that their children. have no genetical effects and radiation has no
7:42 pm
genetic backs on the second and third and fourth and so on generations. their plain words are are the survivors we don't trust we know. that they are genetic. i don't have any children my own. three children. two boys. to me she's my great mother and she might have me in my blood on the list she's 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 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
7:43 pm
ever living on wrong lap we had was very spread reactivity throughout the world mainly in the northern hemisphere not only near the test site 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 then 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 in the case that the testing of nuclear weapons by both the united states as well as the soviet union and many other countries a test of nuclear weapons has by the year two thousand was salted and approximately four hundred thousand people who either are. hot dogs will die prematurely
7:44 pm
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. but the big disaster for us. there is no place for us to hide from. it's because our let me start a family. now there's many many cases of cancer. for the women it's more more knowing and i swear yes. that's true that women generally have a higher cancer risk average we should go children are a lot more vulnerable than any other part of the population so especially in regard
7:45 pm
to pirate cancer. if i remember the number right and one hundred times the risk of adult males from let's say in relation to. its fire or remove the nine hundred eighty one could not i remember one time she went to wash for generation or one of her breasts. but she was selling need she was going to class checkup and then she came back and i had a shot at her i graduated a man of which you were going on. g. tillman is yet a man in one of the best in the end to. an operation and in getting. him or 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
7:46 pm
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 bizarre are such all that the classified documents there were declassified in ninety nine for a number of grog but we just got them. you know ninety either ninety nine it opened up like several buses at one time there was this project or four point one pain and states wanted to learn or make a study on radiation effects on human beings and so
7:47 pm
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 as badly needed such as the habitation of these people on the island will afford most valuable ecological radiation 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 lies and excretion rates can be studied they had to bring some he will from a to experiment started to keep their journey with their eyeballs and use them as a team in the weeks that's when we were in prison and they stood there for hours x. . we know that chronic low dose exposure will increase to some extent the incidence
7:48 pm
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 when it is about good health care is a people that are receiving their health care at a personal trust in what they're trying to do and trust involves historical context of that and so i think they were definite trust assurance. 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 thousand forty seven until the seventies they conducted experiments on the american population itself. people were injected with plutonium though some of the leading the health institutions in the united states the stated purpose of many of these experiments which advise ways to protect people from radiation exposure we haven't
7:49 pm
seen any as far as i could i could recall any real useful information or that came out of those pregnant women would have been really right there aren't to see the metabolism revived of our body and go children part of it there was a school for supposedly retarded children. radioactive cereal was found to be as children the president of the health physics society was asked to do could this radioactive cereal to your children and he said of course not and so this is the problem of of places right wrong with this problem of immediate us appeared to be. intimidated along the way contamination. so that the class of probable shark renaud everyone fires because i think in the end all the highlands up on the border are. slowly in the far.
7:50 pm
east. tough to bomb because is. they're always there. everybody makes mistakes you know every once in this but some day new planet. you don't declaw that misty it was my. own town i saw. him he was there. maybe being there. in a marsh land or most like it or monster. in a memory maybe been in there. like.
7:51 pm
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 front page and all our policy and being an anti american. i think that would be counterproductive to our issues than a relationship with the united states i believe that americans should provide all the health care to the marshallese. because they are responsible for the tasting they contaminated our lands. so far we have a negotiator with them it didn't work out it's not helping much like you know as the wrong a piece chase 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 the american
7:52 pm
military research with project that at its epicenter. was unable base and its support of the plastic 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 were rockets fired from vandenberg air force base in california would land in the lagoon or in your quadrant. while hanging on to the dream of building an anti-missile shield the american spawns 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 play in government under paul martin was committed secretly silently becoming part of the american missile defense plans and many of us said it would read this really isn't
7:53 pm
about missile defense this is really about. the first beginnings of the weaponization of space once we got here from a ship is still sixty five percent favored it was sixty five percent against we forced it to else the americans approved weakening as no thank you very much we were going to be part of it us and as you walk the french you had this moment from . your stay strong. motivation speech the lack all current discussions international about what all the planning space is very bad i only have one army of engineers are improving our cellular phones now communications of the world have another army of engineers are planning the whole are we to destroy what's going on up there. they tell us that it's a big boy it's nothing like an empty shell we like to believe that is that happens but. can we trust.
7:54 pm
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 my song. it was in this tell the story over and over again there were i said to myself. what is my story is it would while or is there for everybody to release him to read if there is no money for it or people are on my or l program then what
7:55 pm
i said share my body. legal right. spirit but do something for the be. and not my side i'm all over them are surprised. and pleased they need something every time we don't do business for free i have come fairly quiet but i don't call. perry my family finally what can. we measure up about syria and gulf. war. 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
7:56 pm
contrary to the norms of international law included in the law of war. or images of the court were unanimous in their opinion that the nuclear weapon should be exterminated from the centers of the word and the air that there are so many principles of international law it's the nuclear weapon by a good will to america rarely i haven't said i don't like it but the more modern state goes there are more like us in the us. these paintings for everyone only remember and i'm at that place i guess. it is my friend. who else is one of my former. grass roots one of my fellow survivors on their kids. there
7:57 pm
was neither anger nor hatred in the survivors voices just pain the nuclear powers or not 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 faded images of the victims and disregard for the future we are counting on the survivors descendants to intervene . but beyond maki or evelyn who can say who is not living with the legacy of hiroshima or wrong clap.
7:58 pm
culture is that so much of an oldish musician is the person on the mark with the killing of osama bin ladin what is changed he was president for awful bombers there's justice has been done and that the world is better and a safer place. for a time or been here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture.
7:59 pm
