wealthy british style. sometimes. margetts weiner scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy in crisis reports on our t.v. . it's now a five thirty pm on friday here in australia with artsy summary of our top stories now the u.k. phone hacking scandal gathers pace are forcing the chief executive of the group owned by the model empire to quit meanwhile questions arise as to why is taking this so long to confront the crisis and despite police knowing about many of the allegations preclears. people take to the streets to protest against the looming cuts in italy the latest to do country could be hit by the financial crisis the

parliament is set to approve a key austerity budget in an attempt to avert a ban. on the search for bodies inside the wreck of the pleasure cruise area is now complete it was a focus now on the area around the site of the sinking of the boat if you can be lifted to the surface shortly one hundred fourteen people have been officially confirmed time fifteen still missing. all right so next hour special report one of those who have seen the dangers of nuclear weapons first hand and i've taken it upon themselves to open the world's eyes and stick with us. can you clear ages the first sixty years oh. i can describe exactly how an underground test was. there was really one zero almost you couldn't hear anything about the there was no noise at all the ground lifted up. we live under the threat

of increasingly sophisticated weapons. in two thousand one hundred eighty eight states parties struggling proliferation treaty signed on to a statement providing for an unequivocal undertaking to the total elimination of nuclear weapons it has been set back but principally the united states but not alone russia france china the u.k. all have their share responsibility. to some unnamed agreements are not being honored. what is happening now it is that their role is in some countries are able to write a draft over international law because there isn't sufficient body of protest from within that country ordering them to these basic principles. things ponies and the rest into the midst of the nuclear tests. and we accompanied them to ground zero with guns pointed ready to fire who are we going to fire at i

wonder crab's rob. if we do maybe there was a russian or american invasion but i don't know with the end of the cord war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared so a lot of the people who were activist under saddam and issues moved their activism to environment or fighting globalization or other issues or no one today is fighting in the streets for disarmament and nonproliferation. the danger is growing with the anti-nuclear movement wake up. america was not the only western power to consider the pacific islands far enough

from home to use for practicing nuclear war in one nine hundred sixty s. a french polynesia laid out all the more meaning the great secret became france's marshall islands for thirty years this earthly paradise shook under nearly two hundred nuclear explosions but more also became ground zero of the anti-nuclear movement. cannot overcome the fact that our country collaborated in the development of the atomic bomb. to regenerate the goals and that french polynesia is proud to be part of what france will become an economic that is to say imagine a cli a power. but to me that is disgusting and send more then more was imposed on us and don't go off it in we're not in fact she makes us guilty too yeah for we are victims in much we also responsible for what's happening to us and

for what might happen if france were to use its nuclear weapons. and i find that unforgettable and. behind this image of paradise lies a secret that surrounds the testing and rips apart the people of french polynesia here economy is dependent on france and the subject of nuclear testing remains taboo but this doesn't stop more air. briscoe mood right now. was that i'm thinking of my children's future. to a. tiny territory a tiny country before but we have a high percentage of people suffering from cairo it long and bladder cancer. and it's frightening to know all that. with the

help of her husband that he sent teacher and mother of two uses the internet to broadcast an image of her country one that is rather different from those in the travel agency brochures. buried in cuba as he decided to speak out about the nuclear issue because it's part of our contemporary history and it is disrupted our society since the sixty's. now we suffer from the ills of a modern society yes we tell our son about our country's history but then when he asks us if there is some facts we were just talking about nuclear testing with the lottery yes he was wondering why they did the tests here in northern france. we explained that we are in the middle of a big ocean. and there are only two hundred thousand inhabitants. and there could be so fewer people are likely to be affected.

yes. my father is a vice president of the independence party. and he has been involved in many anti-nuclear demonstrations. just what am i going to say to them when they ask what did you do to get my country into this situation and that's what i worry about. we were of the atom bomb generation. proof only football will your thoughts down it's have a good time don't worry about anything else will look after your country. france is keeping its nuclear arsenal because it needs the nuclear deterrent to discourage various threats to its vital interests. that is the doctrine that was established in the sixty's and it is still valid today. that there are leaders of the

church and i've been one since one thousand nine hundred sixty three and we have never agreed with nuclear testing. but we cannot agree to weapons of mass destruction and this and so must it's not possible they are fine it's not just since the french tests we were against the american nuclear tests in the marshall islands a washout. long before france in one nine hundred forty six the united states and then great britain chose the pacific to conduct their testing but their comic mushroom clouds were poisonous radioactive debris fell on to the surface of the earth and threaten the health of people all over the planet in one thousand fifty eight campaign for nuclear disarmament organized the first worldwide grassroots opposition in one thousand nine hundred sixty three under the pressure of the peace movements the two western powers and the u.s.s.r.

signed an agreement banning atmosphere testing france was unconcerned and continue to detonate bombs suspended from big believe. by nine hundred seventy four forty six bombs pierced the atmosphere of french polynesia the word environment was still alien to the feds however this was not the case for greenpeace of the campaign against the french was conceived during the first campaign against the united states because the united states was testing nuclear weapons but was testing them underground and france was still testing weapons in the atmosphere. in one nine hundred seventy one small thank you for basically decides to stop all nuclear testing in the pacific soon greenpeace departs from or they find an ally in new zealand where fallout from the french testing has been detected on its soil. new zealand files a complaint the international court of justice and when. france is forced to renounce atmosphere testing but there is still another option the era of french

underground testing begins it will last more than twenty years. you don't actually need to do any tests once you've configured it recently well from a physicist point of view there is no chance that it won't explode the problem is therefore to figure out exactly what conditions it's going to explode and with how much part which is a ridiculous justification since the purpose of obama's to kill people women and children so to achieve that goal you don't need to be a perfectionist. because i've known him since i was little but i know when you hear. it i told my superiors i want to be protected why are they protected i'm not going to put my khaki police uniform shorts i can't be all that. and the military personnel are covered from head to toe. do you know what about us polynesians in what about us is

not the same bomb on we are tougher we. were tougher so we can take a dose of radiation i don't know maybe it's from eating tarot or who knows. disclosure diplo the only one i deplore is when some polynesians played a card about the french injecting billions here. in the force they say take advantage of it and don't go around talking nonsense. and you've got to end your association more tato it's really a very young association two thousand and wasn't it uncle. last year head to the presidential day so c.h. and all and all ham on the radio. he was appealing to young people is energy and them to take a greater interest in the nuclear problem. so that's how we joined. the

nucular tests here devastated polynesian society not just in terms of health the environment and other things. the structures of the society were destroyed. but doesn't mean to stop the tests no jobs no money no economy will all starve that was the government's message. was. if you were against the bomb and your father or uncle worked at the site and they didn't want to protest against the bomb. that's a real rift in the family even between father and son. i became aware of when i was about twenty four. my father went sort of crazy. he said take your wife and daughter and get out i don't want to see you anymore. and i was a teenagers then. and i said to myself who are the real crazy ones and that

these are all the ones who are against nuclear testing so all the ones who supported him. it was because my classmates for example were saying oh yeah nuclear testing so it's a bomb that explodes that's it. only the when you hear about an activist getting arrested by the police i'm thrown in jail on one knee and need to get to meet him because i think that in her mind she wonders why is it always my father. if i don't it's true this when she was in jail it shocked me because i felt that it was too much of a sacrifice to sell anything i wonder if it was really worth it for him to make the sacrifice when others would not yes i was a little angry at all that. you

do didn't you know when you're on various trips to new zealand with my parents and you will call think i had the opportunity to meet some members of greenpeace if you know you couldn't i think they will bring a fresh across the ocean to try and stop nuclear tests. but it would have been so much better all if our people whose had risen up together in protest on messages to move. greenpeace irritates the french military july tenth one thousand nine hundred five while the activists prepared to sail again to morrow of france orders the sinking of their ship the rainbow warrior anchored in new zealand's auckland harbor. the bombing provokes an uproar from the international community and tremendous publicity for three weeks. ten years later in one thousand and five the french president jacques chirac orders

a new series of nuclear tests this time to heed the bells. they never actually our customers stray shingles in one thousand nine hundred four. as in one thousand nine hundred five in the airport. and we saw the riot police shooting at protesters. it was weird it was like watching a big movie screen. get it if. it was very upsetting it was a feeling of hate. hate. that the polynesian people rose up together and said you know mr chirac please stop. if you just brushed it away and said something my decision is final. it one person

one person decided the entire future of my children. my grandchildren and my great grandchildren. it's in c. in. january one thousand nine hundred six france proceeds with this last nuclear test in polynesia what turns out to be the starting point for a long term research. we've done is in the last tests justified an enormous investment to build new equipment new missiles new bombs the laser megajoules and you aircraft got me so everything is being updated between now and twenty twenty the. only interesting thing is the results from countries like the united states. some of the other western nations in developing new nuclear weapons that it excites the end troops in countries like korea and iran who want to draw in

the nuclear club. two thousand and six is a landmark here the united states the united kingdom france russia and china all reinvest in their nuclear arsenals the message is clear it is necessary to their security on the other hand the same countries keep telling non-nuclear nations that acquiring nuclear weapons is illegitimate leaders would be fooling themselves if they think that this type of system can continue we are still living in a system that emanates from the end of the second world war five countries of the security council have special powers and it's even more problematic that these five countries are also the five countries with nuclear weapons so in a sense it gives the impression that having nuclear weapons gives them the special status i was going to have one law one standard we're going to have to do class world increasingly countries for different developing world are saying that they're

not going to live in a two class world. system the same force where french we are in our passports also french not second class citizens yes second rate that is do you remember which also said the other day. if we had been feeling michigan we'd never have heard nuclear tests. well that's what it's called back than. i think that when we were have our independence. the whole truth about the tests and their consequences will come out. to our people are taken for ignorant and that has to stop polluting and we are not ignorant. today we want the truth and we're going to get it for always maintained that their bombs were clear that they were exploding clean atomic bombs but in two thousand and six they conceded to some follow up throughout french polynesia. measurable ethnic i

see the camp recording test and it sounds our test which were carried out the year i was boring. if you and i know that i've had a thyroid problem for two years now. and i wonder if it's connected to the nuclear tests. this is interesting. this shows that one hundred and ninety six radioactive thoughts were detected in french polynesia. but we don't know the dose. and they're not telling us but they know. in france it takes time for things to be made public particularly with respect to nuclear testing on the nuclear it's top secret it's a defense secret so there's no information at all. your problem if the problem exists in french polynesia either as the collective anxiety brought aboard by cycle

sociological poisoning or in terms of the code of silence that has prevailed over the radioactive fallout. here if there is a psychosis it's because the government created it we want to know the radiation dose of those fall outs they tell us there were no one hundred ninety six of them with no health consequences the truth has to be told and that after years and years of this atmosphere of secrecy let's call it by its rightful name. people who live there are worried and rightly so because i think they deserve the truth in many people campaigning for transparency doesn't necessarily make you a doomsayer it would. in general we have a higher rate of cancer as you compared to some regions it's much higher seems that

more but if we have a higher incidence of leukemia been elsewhere it's probably due to the palm but that needs to be proved we have to hurry and tick. samples from people who are still life vivo the easiest way to find the people who worked on more is to tour the halls outside the oncology department in the hospital of competing. for you all of this year he worked at peace in. a repair facility for navy ships returning from the states. and now i have lung cancer he has cancer and his love long. because he worked on more war for a very short time only six months and the second time they brought him home because he was having trouble breathing. we had three brothers who work to morrow and all three died of this yes. yes yes they died. so this is his

wife she has it it's my tirade. and it's starting to get bigger look here and later it will be here. we should but i'm not saying it's because of moral or no i can't we don't have scientific proof but we have lots and lots of questions about it that's all i want to say that we should be criticizing. it. also in addition to the serious nature of their illness if you say anything they insult you they tell you all you want is to benefit from french money to prevent home. i'd prefer my husband to mine if his illness has gotten worse and i'm going to lose him so it hurts i don't care about money and yes that's the way.

he need the four years they have been checking me he before they couldn't figure out that i had a kidney tumor. with me in the other. i am waiting for someone to say clearly your illness was caused by eating too much pork or too much of this or that that was because of the nuclear testing. what have we done it has to stop and so we give you a lot of nonsense and then just say bye guys don't worry you can eat fish you can grow food and there's no problem. well yes there is a small problem but it's not serious but it's clean. not all the plutonium is used a lot of that is just left behind for that's what we're talking most of that so long as it remains under grow. is not a problem when it gets into the water and when it gets in. then it could be

a problem. what is the legacy of one hundred fifty to undergo nuclear tests say it's seven hundred kilos of plutonium underneath more rula what does that mean. one tenth of a millionth of a gram of plutonium can cause cancer. said it's radioactive half life is twenty four thousand four hundred years and i don't think that's means it will take more than two hundred forty thousand years before it can be considered harmless you know for instance this assumption that plutonium will not go anywhere which is held by testing authorities i think in more than one country turns out to be not quite right. recent research done by the u.s. government in the rather it indicates that in one. has migrated quite far from the

past already within forty years. one of the additional problems that had been discovered in the last fifteen years the turned out to be a very complicated substance chemical sort of behavior is very difficult to characterize and it made my great faster in the water. than before and so now we have to worry about. you know we have seven hundred kilos down there. so nobody knows if more row is stabilized. in the heart of more is beginning to cave in that's the legacy we're left with and they want to stick close the book on more go on no no never.

said some to seven hundred kilos of plutonium very analysis on oil. and i ask myself is because i wonder whether it's worth having the children superman when they're faced with a tragedy. and it could indeed happen to an. issue for the good from their knowledge would take would be a tsunami but up. this one i heard talking about the legacy on judical the. computer i saw my daughter. going to kissimmee pier and i thought if i don't do anything unusual any one day she will blame me if you call that's what motivates me to fight in your clear threats all through none struggle for my country sing dependence.
