under fire between britain and the e.u. losses which is a long time to relax stringent benefit will say newly arrived immigrants and kate moss because that. was britain's themselves. in the russian soyuz spacecraft carrying three huge international space station crew members. successfully launching from a snowy baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan. next all special report about the survivors of one of the world's deadliest industrial disaster has who are fighting for justice against the corporation responsible for a gas leak in the indian city of.

you know me in. december third one thousand nine hundred eighty four the night we can never forget . when the lake edge of and i see gas from this union carbide factory made people sleep forever but not. on those who are no more today the people they use. those mothers and sisters who were sleeping that night in their homes. the gas leakage from the union carbide made them sleep forever.

anderson go to hell union carbide go to hell.

for so many years who's been drinking poisonous water even today the water is still poisonous and all of our children are sick. of them and the entire community split up with a problem that is why we will keep fighting until you're agreeing to all demands the fine to continue. an idea for a gas leak from a union carbide corporation factory in bhopal killed up to twenty five thousand people it was one of the world's worst industrial accidents more than thirty thousand people are believed to have died from the effects of toxic chemicals released into the air from this factory the union carbide plant in the central indian city a book. on up on the contaminated water is making our lives how they're going to get even that

on. their shoulders of tons of stuff that we just live betty that is three forty six tons of waste that if that warehouse additives i wasn't supposed to waste on the surface of the back to provide. this. it was the plant that was responsible for causing the world's worst industrial disaster and now it had been abandoned in a condition where it had become a source of pollution or the most recent study that was done shows that this water pollution is spreading more than three and a half thousand died in the immediate aftermath of the disaster after inhaling the fuse thousands more to perish is toxin seeps into the ground around the plant poisoning water supplies. and drought but it is being twenty seven years and there is still no proper or secure detox for cation or treatment of the soil and the neutralization of the chemical toxic waste is still not being done.

yet the government gas relief minister bubble is claiming there are no more sick people and that the factory is clean and that one hundred percent of the people are drinking one hundred percent pure water these are complete lies groups working with affected children see the children. ten times more likely to be born with birth defects in children in the rest of the country. you know. there are kids being born like this there are many kids like this in my own area there are many kids like this. by refusing to be poisoned in their water and soil in question is committing crimes crimes

on a large number of people if you go through respiratory problems heart problems i problems . the ratio of patients are increasing by the day. people are still suffering the. people are dying and the next generation is getting affected the horrific. with the fact that the suffering hasn't ended them that injustice continues and the agencies responsible for this. disaster remain unpunished.

thank you. this robot cruise line would be carbides through and through and. it's not much to look at. first a layer of paper or a layer of oil and it would still be hot. if

you don't think it's as good as we. are birdie. as. in god made globalization is this american transnational that was involved in the war was. in the midst of what's called the devolution union got by decided to locate the best to save manufacturing you need to. get started in the war seventies and the formulation just mixing different best to say we've done back in degree due to production of methane i say mean. and they knew right in seventy two that the method as authentic bland they were building. would be untested technology in their own words and that its safety was

not known. the. fifty thousand injured have been counted but up to two hundred thousand may be affected in the long term cerebral palsy has begun to estrich the survivors the doctors hardly know how to relieve the suffering they're not sure exactly what it was in the lethal cocktail of gases so it's difficult to prescribe effective at certain work for a funeral pyres is becoming scarce so fifty bodies are being burnt at a time in mass cremations. there are many chemicals found in the water around here which were once used in the union carbide factory. bodies where every time it rains the toxic waste which is

lying on the surface of the factory goes deep inside the earth and pollutes the soil. because here because surface which is contaminated and the chemicals which are in the earth needs to be removed and he talks a fight. otherwise the pollution will continue and people will keep using polluted water and that is very dangerous and mark. yeah. thank. you. but. i'm not alone my name is salam bubble but people call me.

when i have a small business where you know if we are daily wage earners. but i have no savings here walking that whatever does get saved is spent on medicine. her condition used to be much better. she used to go to the market go for

walks and play around with her. she used to laugh and have fun there were no problems. with some time later on we noticed that she couldn't sit up on her own or turn over your kind of what meaning what. slowly she started looking to press. when we would talk to her she would not reply . so we brought her to the doctor but the doctor said she's been like this since birth and there might be some treatment for her. some.

of my arm today we are at a point where we wanted to do a lot but we can't do much. for the people that has been an ending because people continue to be there more than

hundred thousand people still chronically ill and there's at least twenty thirty thousand people who have been forced to drink contaminated water for the last fifteen sixteen years when you've seen it the next generation is affected then you do not know when it stop. figure out what it is in my eyes this hospital is of no use all the doctors here are useless to it's like putting your child's life in danger it's a waste of time and money coming out of. here at the hospital money talks. you give money and you'll be looked after but we're poor people and we don't have money and that's why no one looks after us even if your child is dying.

we'll spend five thousand rupees since we have come here i'm not sad about that i will earn it again but as for my daughter there is no improvement and we don't know what to do. whatever is within my power i will do it. the hospitals don't even give our met some to those who need it what if someone doesn't have gas relief papers. how does he apply for medication. if a prescription is made for five rupees how is a poor laborer going to spare five rupees but even at the end of the day all of the big ministers of the state are being pin money in their pockets i want to face them

even if they put me behind bars and i'm ready to go to jail for these poor people because this hunger is this sickness look at those gutter tents couldn't fall sick by drinking that water. well. right now people are not getting proper treatment they have built beaked on hospitals but they give priority to people who have money but what the poor people get no preference. how hospital was made for gas victims but treatment is not given in time and people die painfully waiting for treatment. sometimes i feel like there is nothing in our control. that there are so many memories and so much pain that come since the gas tragedy that surviving has become a living hell.

before we had no hope that cyber would even survive that we just left everything to god and came to this hospital. by the. slowly her condition has improved and we realize these injections are very powerful. and the doctor told us the same thing about the injections and once this course is over we wanted another will begin and those are supposed to be even better to lay to. the doctor said she's almost conscious now. since when we came here we were very sad and when we leave i just want us to be

very happy. terrible. poisonous chemicals were still there. jamie no there's no truth in it there was chemical waste there and it was decided that waste could be disposed of put into the instructions of the supreme court so there was nothing hazardous for human life there immediately or later on and now we are here to

believe that a study on the toxic legacy of union carbide factory involved are embedded glovebox in the government that and we have some reports that the site is not. outside the factory he collected eleven groundwater samples he found mostly in one thousand with the same people find that drinking water standard all the samples that the lifted from the site when heavily contaminated they obviously but this iceland has been discussing totally to let me go through. these little bonsa is not a one time disaster it is a continuing disaster simply because there is a continuing groundwater contamination and sometime in the soul of a lot of the whole bodies because of your. lies there is a contradiction in what the government the same i mean you have to ask the government and i think it's a very good question that the government the indian government is submitting a request for release. to us or saying we support this case we want the union carbide to clean up this plant and this pollution at the same time the government

is making statements that there is no pollution from every time and then the politicians makes a statement like this this is the union carbide submitted to the american court and says look even their own government says there is no problem this is a class action that the case has been pending since one thousand nine hundred ninety. the plaintiffs are people from the affected communities. people who are suffering from health effects. from the eighty's on words union carbide corporation usa. costs in every way possible and far and that was already by design straight away it meant production of safety. all the safety equipment which was provided here such as the refrigeration system for the storage tank where am i see how to be kept at a low temperature for safety reasons was all shut down in may one thousand nine

hundred four. they shut down. just to save something like seventy dollars a day which meant that the temperature of the bank was unsafe. behind storage tank number six hundred and ten this was the m i c storage tank that leaked the process vent line of this tank was faulty and could not hold the pressure. for this reason water travelled into the tank while the water entering into the tank may have been the immediate trigger of the disaster the fact that all the safety systems were turned off was certainly contributing to the disaster the fact that he was not being stored as it was originally required to be stored at zero degrees celcius that fact contributed so that you really had a series of causes coming together after the accident i found out that the machinery provided by union carbide for the plant was unproven technology the used

equipment verifying it or making sure it was safe. because i was working with union carbide india ltd. that's what i regret. but i was not in control of the workers and. everything was in control of higher management. there were criminal charges for an offense known under indian law as culpable homicide which would be the equivalent of manslaughter and union carbide had been served but had refused to appear to face those criminal charges. with me today is warren anderson i read you know just returned on a trip familiar so i want to take this opportunity to express my deep sympathy to all of those who were involved in the terrible tragedy unfold. and when i first

heard of the national reports on monday the third of december. they were sketchy at first. by the time tuesday morning. the magnitude of. what a prayer for friday morning took that early flight and we arrived. there was a subdued crowd waiting at the airport to be union carbide chairman warren anderson but the day's events which would take an extraordinary turn and with dramatic developments almost hourly first mr addison never got to meet the victims of pope powell or indeed his own engineers he was whisked away in a police car to the company's guesthouse in the hills about the town we arrested mr anderson and his team of people i think he came because it was his responsibility to be here. i think. the least i would do if i was him i would be responsible mr

anderson had taken refuge behind the gates and was definitely not receiving visitors then the local police superintendent drove out the startling news that mr anderson and two local union carbide executives were under arrest on the. rest can you tell us exactly who the arrested mr. and mr anderson. cooper arrested mr imus in the world yes. there was a decision. that. should be understood by the world. and everybody knew that it was coming to the magistrate and for. you know with me. that we were drawers with violations of several indian or was generally related to the language which mr anderson had been arrested on charges of criminal and constructive negligence offenses carrying a possible two year jail sentence and theoretically no chance of bail not even the

company's lawyer could see them as they were confined under house arrest he wasn't doing any sign of a problem there was representative of the u.s. government to lend any assistance possible are you surprised that the chairman of union carbide has been arrested since he's here to try and solve a problem i'm missing a little at the magic pradesh state headquarters a senior official confirmed the government would be seeking compensation for damages and they launched a bitter attack on union carbide this government going after a minute. of the tragedy. and knows its duty towards thousands of innocent citizens whose lives have been slowed really. dramatically affected. by a cruel. on the part of the management of the union bit of course he got bit by could be.

very clearly warren anderson had jumped bail and he promised to appear in court when they were called but he just jumped to. the indian government has request for extradition of warren anderson but the us government has denied the request the government says they want to send. to face trial. the proposal for the method that it was. and it was warren anderson who was informed about it being a condition of safety of the plant all this was his personal knowledge. well

done with the. new year's wishes on technology update next generation places made from super strong cultural lightweight building materials it helps a little helps build nuclear isotopes a cleaner planet seems to be a revolutionary way to get rid of or growing my own fields and

a long list of russian invaders. used the central. twenty six thousand times i know you civilian casualties now rage green said they taze claims of a flawless libya intervention all as a new and just as lousy campaign downfalls against gadhafi still with the prince of . russia the freshly elected parliament has chosen its speak as the new state duma convenes for the first time two weeks after its election sparked massive protests and calls for weekends. as travel to britain and the new breed brussels lord has long been to relax stringent benefit will saying you need a ride to.
