three. three. three. three. three the. video for your media trial against the stream media john darche touched on. it watching r.t. and then review the week's top stories from us and first u.s. special forces kill osama bin ladin of the decade of trying to find the terror threat alert remains in the all time high as al qaeda promises to avenge its legal dept. the us army you promised more sanctions against the syrian government if it doesn't stop at one for the crackdown on protesters affairs a growing the current situation in the country might eventually lead to foreign

intervention. and the only place big celebrations in russia thousands of troops marching across moscow threats where in a final rehearsal before monday's today. i'm next a look at whether the world has learned any lessons from the bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki. material a tactical module in the american military base by the slums became an enemy attack the ground zero wrong not contaminated and deserted. the marshall islands are scattered for hours southwest of honolulu it is nowhere from north america's closest but a paradise if one intends to test atomic bombs. all .

all right james tell us that the united states government now wants to turn this right this stuff it's the worst and are suffering good form and. one of them up we don't want you to be not. ready with. everything being and god have just begun. 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 a thousand kilometer including the bravo test and one nine hundred fifty four

fifteen may get some chest thousand times more powerful and explosive yield than the hiroshima bomb. it was a normal yoshino but there are no and. it makes me angry that nobody knows what is your almighty all of it is. this too. much first nine hundred fifty four the islanders are amazed to see the sun rising in the us but a star is a thermonuclear bravo irradiates the sky by the wind blows towards the atoll from the last. m.m. on. yes i think some media. later eighty three. anybody was sleeping. right max completely home and my.

when the lights go in thousand we've seen the plane goes down from the sky now around the crown. no there's sam tyler like sam. and then the unions there is strong and the rise everywhere and the crown was small . and we would suppose in. a vacuum. and you rightly so we hide for several years and when we've been there recently don't know why things are the from the well we need the power because nobody has not only. turned out to be

a lot more powerful than they expected. they didn't bother to move the bronco up people because they said oh well it was basically too complicated logistically it had to take by this time permission from the department of the carrier and frankly it was expensive. it was just by accident that we even found out that that that won't let people had been proud 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 i never heard of it was called the lucky trick on. the american government rushed dr so but there. it the head doctor said oh well that will be ok and i'm much well it's six months the radio operator had died but the people in iraq unless they had a slow motion kind of keep fit they also had

a lot of the other for maybe your last what else did they kill you and burn yeah it's my mom sisters you here with all her from here. you couldn't you know we're poor. but. we which are very. cool we're doing missions of. the storm really. well some of them are present. when it is so. normal. just from. hardly. 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 this continuously and are still doing it because they are such a living example of what it is like to experience them a bomb with the actual explosion so the rubber people are much more of an example for the rest of the world than the actual bomb me in her nagasaki. obviously the dimension of what happened in her scene and what happened in the marshall islands is very different was chronic exposure for many years as it's possible one explosion just a matter tonnage was falzon of times but after the machine was so that's one aspect it will 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 after the broadcast was a big 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 health concern that this thing is a fucking us and our children every day. they started to give birth to monster like b. . and so many miscarriages and. great. foetuses and. my mom and seventies care and one time she had a baby that looked like a crate and that made me sound that i have a basis or is an alien or it's not even a human being. in december of two thousand and five and 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 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 if you are going to energy is involved in our marriage is part of us government and so medical program provides ongoing monitoring for radiation related illness for the people wrong a lot and you do it if you have one this is about but yet with effects. it is about can read into me and it is a classic when i know i think you have heard about people like me even met i'm not

sure if you're familiar with a pair seventy or in this report it is see very clearly that it is genetic mutations that are changed biologically by radiation and they've shown it plants mice and bacteria so if you follow that through then the probably is genetic instead transmitted by you know enough of a shit how much radiation that takes you didn't comment in there but in your mind you know being a woman will that affect your children i can see from them their seventy four i don't know. it's never been showed to see yes but it's also been ever shown to see not. named the price of the woman on the wrong. it's many a woman believe or those silly based believe you are funny guy you know why is nine it was why is that right i never i never even. close to you know that

because we've used rings when 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 where it's all for survivors we don't trust we know. that there are genes that cause. i don't have any children all right i am. the only difference. the more reason. to me she's my mother i mean she might have me in my life on the list she's the only 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 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 the wrong lap the atmospheric testing spread reactivity 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 from out we still have strength from id in the dirt we have cesium one thirty seven we have from tony and and in the air we have carbon fourteen and it gets into the food so every time we get a little bit of the legacy of atmospheric testing. the national cancer institute indicates that the testing of nuclear weapons by both the united states as well as the soviet union and other countries

a test of nuclear weapons as by the year two thousand resulted in a possible a four hundred thousand people who either. will drop prematurely of cancer. no space or time can stop the bombs rippling effect. it's a boomerang drifting with the winds away. down to reste disappear hundreds of thousands of victims during the japanese dead already in mass graves the nuclear arsenal claims more corpses and 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 memory it's because our lead the stuff that. now they are is many many cases of cancer. for the women it's more more in the why squareness cancer. it's true that women

generally have a higher cancer risk average we truly. are a lot more vulnerable than any other part of a population so especially in regard to iraq cancer. if i remember the number right about one hundred times the risk of adult males from the same relation to. its fire are removed in nine hundred eighty one cleveland i remember one time she went quiet for jesuit or one of her breasts. but she was selling 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 is going on. and she told me that he had a man in one of a vessel to an operation and you know. 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 thought. ok these are are not all that the classic place arguments they were declassified in one thousand and four if i remember correctly but we just got them. you know ninety eight or ninety nine you know kind of like simple boxes on time there was this project call four point one

the united states wanted to learn or make a study on radiation effects on human beings and so that all at least you were chosen. to be used as guinea pigs the rationale in part was that and this is quoting from the brookhaven report of one nine hundred fifty eight greater knowledge of such effects on human beings is is barely needed such as to have a taishan of these people on the island will afford most valuable it's a logical 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 lives and excretion rates can be studied their brain some he will from. the experiment started to get their

picture nate were there i use them as an x. that's why we're in paris and they stood. for price x. . we know that conical odos 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 a people that are receiving their health care at the first time i trust that what they're trying to do i i trust involves historical context of that and so i think there were definite trust the since. the 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 can def 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 experiments were to devise ways to protect people from radiation exposure we haven't seen and. 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 there aren't to see the metabolism written right there by golly. though children part of it there was a school for supposedly retarded children and a radioactive cereal was fed to these children and the president of the health physics as i was asked is radioactive cereal to your children and he said of course not and so this is the problem of of places like wrong with this travel of immediate also appeared to be. and eventually to the white contamination thought. so that the castle travel shark in the not everyone

fires because it can be at all downs of. slowly in the fog in. this. job the bond it is is. there always save. everybody made since you know. every once in this but something you planned for a long long time. to call that misty it was right. down town i. am. was there mike. maybe they being that people here in a marsh land are most like it or monster. in their

memory maybe even in their reality would be like yeah. the people of brown that have been engaged in talks with the united states and they still hope that justice will prevail. but a superpower frightens. i don't believe in a confrontational our policy and being an anti-american. i think that would be counterproductive to our issues than our relationship with united states i believe that americans should provide all the health care to the marshallese. because they are responsible for the testing they contaminate in our islands. so far we have negotiated with them it didn't work out it's not helping much you

know as the wrongly piece chase after a health program and the 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 projects at the center. watching those 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 you're watching. while hanging onto the green building an anti-missile shield the americans band baaja name 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 in

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 this is really about. the first beginnings of the weaponization of space once we got the information to the public still sixty five percent favored it was sixty five percent i guess we forced it to those the americans approve we can use no thank you very much we were going to be part of it you are serious you want to work and for you and. to stand the outer space treaty. translation speech the lack all current discussions international about what all the planning in space is very bad you have one army of engineers are improving our cellular phones now communications in the world yet another arm of engineers are planning a whole hour to destroy what's going on up there. they tell

us that it's a big boy it's nothing it's like an empty shell like to believe that is that his army but. 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 my song. it was a mess that i tell the story over and over again to there were i said to myself. what is my story is it would while or

is there for everybody to listen to or if there is no money for it are you going to haul out or tell program then what i said here my body. right. the rich arab. but do something for the people. in our strike all over the mascot. and least they need something in the time we are in the business for free i have the kind of family like i had on. the. perry mica family while you might come. up when i get them a series in the 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 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 of a judge or that the court were unanimous in their opinion that the nuclear weapon should be exterminated from the centers of the word and there is that there was so many principles of international law which the nuclear weapons hydrogen were came nearer rarely they hadn't said i don't like a lot of your monkey state because there are more people like us in the room and it's. these paintings for everyone only been contaminated place i guess.

it is my. who else is going to vote for her. 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 . but beyond murkier evelyn who can say who is not living with the legacy of hiroshima or wrong lap.

the price of freedom from the most moving fascism in history. those who fought to win the war stand ground. against the tide of history being rewritten. sixty six years of victory on r.g.p. . and. fished for. fish
