the old free broadcast morning video for your media projects free medio don carty dot com. today's news and the week's top stories from tens of thousands rally in central moscow protesting against the results of this month's parliamentary poll as a look at it is promising sweeping political reforms some of which are already underway today to state duma. that syria is locked in a spiral of violence with forty four killed in suicide blasts in damascus the country's also struggling on the down to pressure list of. the week off the north korean the ruler kim jong il sung the song is appointed as the new supreme leader state t.v. showed thousands openly weeping on the streets of the communes that was announced

by the secretive state meetings when told me that. the next special reports on the indians who are still suffering from one of the world's worst industrial disasters more than a quarter of a century. i'm an old notion of the corporation is based on what's called limited liability limited liability means that individual participants and of course cannot be charged with crimes of the corporation commits the kind to very limited one of the major runs its course and. the corporation acts in such a way that kills the managers the c.e.o. and the shareholders have limited liability and it's not a disregard for human life and maybe the nicest people in the world maybe give to charity. but in their institutional rule as managers of the corporation there is a task that they must follow that task is to maximize profit and market share. if

they don't do that they're out and somebody else is in the dust of the indian government meanwhile declare itself the sole representative of the victims and proceed to do so out the case for four hundred seventy million dollars which was sort of cheap the union carbide start went up by two dollars a share the sentiment was people could not mean that it could be such a grew old sellout because the new government agreed to settle all bonds to present and future liabilities for a sum as small as four hundred seventy million dollars. people received as little as five hundred dollars but lifelong injuries and. unpunished. i believe whatever happened in the past we cannot change it but what is happening

now is in our control it's been twenty seven years and the government should least do something like people seek a clean water because the ground water is contaminated whoever survived that night and whatever life is left for the gas victims they should get proper treatment so they can spend the rest of their lie. it's in good health. they are gas and water victim children were born of the deformity and their future has to be kept in mind so that these kids can live a proper life and so that their parents do not take them as some sort of burden but . you're welcome. i love and. good afternoon c.h.r.y. this is only summertime to la and i'm joined on the line by son jake very much who is an activist in the bhopal campaign and also a survivor of the terrible disaster in one thousand nine hundred eighty four so sanjay can you tell us a bit about what happened to you on the night of december third one thousand nine

hundred four well i was born in july or so i was a few months already remember and i are. up and well at that and and really don't know why i asked myself because i had no one with me at the paris meeting at my school. she would like they all died that i had and. i would be. i really know very well in my own eyes that you would like and i remarried. sunday was. his sister was nine his elder brother i mean he was only thirteen and these were the only people left alive in a family of. my family old runaways i was told later two of them died in hospital. my mother and father were.

the bodies of three sisters who have by. the other two are missing. they lost their parents. and three sisters and two brothers calling one night. my bad and. my family members die because of this factory. and the system in question has been there. but it is a gold mine because it will be thousand eight hundred people at what according to the people who are carrying out bodies from the g eight from the houses this is one thousand to ten thousand people have died in the next seventy two hours and. fifty five thousand people have died. i remember my blood that all came up and organize

it and. then automatically i myself got involved in the fight and i joined like other organizations i think. now we are like no longer young guys factory. playing then all know how contaminated the factories how on going again the soil on the factories. like security inside the factory might not paying attention towards them. why we did this study we just want to extend those chemical contamination believe the factory and i will die and see if there is a link. by building it is going to go on for all going to school that's the site because if you got to site justified it is easy if you look at all the guys here

man and mostly enough and it was very high. most of the day. and won't be diving of eighty the phone mostly as it was or be in fact been invented i did this photo get out and you can still see getting there stopped out of david and a close not surprising that the ground is very high on both i'm ok. we have received very important documents in this case that i think established very clearly that union carbide knew with advance as early as nine hundred seventy three that this pollution problem that we are facing today they knew this was going to happen and they and they went ahead with this project despite that specific knowledge as early as one nine hundred seventy three union carbide engineers or warning the company that the plant presents an unusual challenge in that there's no nearby running body of water into which waste can be discharged so from the design stage waste disposal plant was and was

a major concern. a lot of waste streams from the plant emptied into the area of the plant known as the solar evaporation pond area. and this is where the waste in toxic sludge were dumped basically and carby we're standing right on top of it and the other side as you can see there used to be a small leak which she also used as a dumping ground for they waste people depended on the water from the link so they drank it and it cost and pedantic. union carbide from the design stage then the bhopal plant could pollute groundwater they also knew that there was a there was a surrounding community that used that groundwater for its drinking water supply. so they believe that they can get. by. and they had some kind of sludge so they took all of us from. here and there and you see this black

lining. the ground of this landfill they believe that this kind of lining if. it can keep the vast. lining and the need to go on every day i don't hear. we believe the solar evaporation ponds continues to be a source of the subsurface water pollution that's now reaching through the article for and spreading into the surrounding communities and can be detected as far away as three kilometers from the main plant campus so that evacuation was before very high was going to be used the idea was using. only english and one of these for these will be an isolated at a recent one. off the factory what is still being gone dominated

and people are forced to needed water because they do not have any other choice of all the way it will remain a source of pollution for this area until it is remedial and the party that can do that is you know the symbol mark the twenty fifth anniversary of the tragedy at a union carbide india ltd facility in bhopal and even today continues to evoke strong emotions globally and rightfully so we're saddened however that despite all that has been written about the tragedy in the past twenty five years so many misconceptions still exist about union carbide and it's wrong the government of india is the appropriate entity to address any i'm going to express by the people of bhopal. we are saddened by the fact that the site remains on really adding to the tragedy that has occurred the site today is in the hands of the state government of madhya pradesh the state government. and together with the central

government they are trying to get the site cleaned up but union carbide is now a wholly owned subsidiary. two thousand one third the boards of carbide approve the burger agreement create the world's second largest chemical. does complicate things and doesn't because the law on contamination is very clear in india and in the us and which is the principal polluter pays principle is the idea under international law that the liability for pollution should always be traced back to the polluter the polluter should not be able to externalize the costs of pollution onto society at large or a third party it shouldn't be the government's responsibility to clean up at public expense after private polluters. so a no no no no no no that is one of the. people. drinking contaminated water you see

this is just like. in the neighborhood and then we got a lot of this bomb tested every founded highly contaminated but they do not have any other choice and they are drinking this water. it was like some time two thousand and four it was sometime in the evening. when i eased back to my home there was a letter written by my brother. brad. i'm going to die in a few minutes so take care of yourselves and he was like he was laying on his back in this room so i had to phone one of my one of my brother's friends and they said . and both of us took my brother to the hospital and finally he had survived that thing. before that he had run into a jungle where food he had tried to set him off fire. he didn't

have any physical problems his sickness was that of paranoia and fear that if anyone came over then she would go and hide in the bathroom he used to say he could hear a voice in his mind i believe that a wall inhales with time but in bhopal case it's getting worse. again a government if we blame each other for everything no solution will come. government blames the company we blame the government part of the government suffers the company suffers and most importantly the people who suffer. another member actually who was the media person who asked me this question who do you blame to work surely according to you. before i answer to his question he said your god when they he said to me your governments like ditching you they have been digging people from.

so if you are going is not willing to help you then what will you. do for you. that but i'm not particular night on the second and third december some gases from the union carbide leaks and some of the people. being an autopsy surgeon it was my moral duty to find out what the cause of death was. after analysis it was established that cyanide was present along with nearly twenty million components are to which it team were deadly. like in hiroshima and nagasaki it had an adverse effect on their genes so similarly this adverse effect of the gases causing genetic mutation in india. would like that we don't speak because it's not a good image india in america they don't want to talk about because in spite of the fact that there is it was all the rest against mr wong and. i mr anderson

has been a beautiful. new york of course. it was a bone of glacier we're looking at we're going to be inventive and one of the implications is putting nation which you know more than thirty thousand people and the people. i've known about the problems this can problems that is this is through. all of our second that's happened to get specific governments are not in business to protect the population. that's what they say they are but it's usually a pretty low priority. don't take any. somebody's story. or the record country story pretty often. a loss of the work through the population

but the leaders were willing to take the risk when it was. this want to responds in this stock to leave the government just pimping for chemicals and these are the same people who. we strongly feel that on this occasion of the twenty seventh anniversary we will be able to destroy the mixes and we will get justice. they have not yet on the other one. of the people of the prints.

is not. really. what is needed. i was hired. for. to bring all of the computer applications. because they are more concerned about. anything i just decided that i was making. the wrong. decision. knowing. so when you purchased the assets of a company purchased those. we are just asking for our right to clean water union carbide is fully exploited sort of international this problem it informs the american courts that new york long. because these events took place in india the

same. doesn't apply so in effect they're arguing that they're above the law so there are. behavior for. us of course international as noble and force a. force for somebody. if the united states doesn't force a. little but we should take responsibility for. what we had dime from the water no one is offering clean water they have no choice. dow chemical go to how it go to how to how. agents of dow should be spanked. if you look at subject to the jurisdiction over deal then you'll have to submit to the american boards and the american courts after news of the above. in two thousand and four the supreme court's directed the government to provide

clean and safe water but the governments of the state from central has failed to honor the supreme court order. and then they promise that by november two thousand and nine the government would supply clean water but that's a promise was never fulfilled but some pipelines were laid in some areas but not in every area the water that supplying the spikes his duty and not. all speak up some kids and dad might differ dish but mission control board certified against any high concentrations of bacteria so knowing this water is what is being supplied to locals who have given their lives. and. no company should be a lice that it cannot break this country. if

we win this fight outsiders will gain nothing again will be for years the people of . you know what we have asked for is the clean up cost union carbide should clean all the poisonous and harmful toxic chemicals that are stored inside the plant. the groundwater which is polluted in a radius of three kilometers around the plant should be cleaned and union carbide should be paid for about to. bring i'm dissing to india bring them here dow chemical leave india leave india on top of that we have asked for compensation for the victims who are suffering. it's our mission to fight for people who are weak people who cannot fight for themselves or even know how.

union carbide should bear these expenses because in the coming ten to fifteen years people will keep getting affected due to the growing water contamination and will be more prone to cancers like diseases given audios body and we are fighting for our society we are fighting for our country we are fighting for gas victims. it's only by virtue of the fact that this afternoon. be. able to. come. out of this year a fresh known bailable warrant has been issued for anderson. and if the government fails to wake up and help then we are committed to fight for the next twenty seven years against the nexus between the company and the government the process could change dramatically if the union or went into the states have done something in the film and i made them not and they don't have to be afforded to someone who would

give a government what they have. said to be if they want this ruling. and interview i think of it before it goes on. they were all this i was in court they have subpoenaed they have submitted a letter all of this that's all over the local police were i think i was on any ideas from our research one thing is very clear the union carbide india factory is infected with poison food it is a poison which will not lead to death just by touching it so i can understand why their money pradesh government is saying there is no poison. but it is also true that it's a kind of poison that is leaking into our environment that is the main thing i'm sane is that the factory should be cleaned as soon as possible.

god has given you a disputed word with all the facilities but god has given everything here why destroyed. felt come on friends join the march with the victims and show that your passion has not cooled down. i. has not turned down because we did not get justice and unless we get justice a passion will never cleaned out. every year millions of people are dying because of this unburdened the pursuit of profit. and what conflict will follow saying is that you cannot do it you are not allowed to do it because life is sacred and that cannot be violated and. i think that it is my our the twang day the strength from the rest of the world who will get justice from dell company that i think. the twenty fifth anniversary is just to

learn my before your father verse read the first of the diverse read will be as important for the final goal. not goal is to clean the factory farm all those toxic effluents which still pull you the water that the people have to drink . and amazon i want the world to understand the crime of these companies they profit from the analysts products as they show on t.v. and not in the same products poison our lives not only. we should never allow down to continue their poisonous business in any other city in the world soon that another book power will not be repeated. each day worsley gives us more spirit gives us more encouragement people i'll know what i have been for and we get more support every than the previous year if there is justice and this world would be safer for all of us today because it would set a precedent and

a parent company cannot set up a subsidiary somewhere in the world create a large scale environmental problem there and then when the time comes to fix liability sell off its local subsidiary and then retreat to the united states or any other developed country and a basically say that nobody can sue them here nobody can hold them accountable so that's the sort of context in which if our litigation were to be successful it would set important precedent. i am.
