kirby it was easy to believe most since you said you did read loads which unfortunately those interviews with your new found anything change mission to teach me why you should care about humans. this is why you should care what you only call. your authority you live from moscow to have climbed some serious trouble truce nationwide rallies flare up along with reports of ongoing killing at the un brokered cease fire enters its third day the security council is set to decide later on whether to send in observers. folks have a breakthrough by breaking the silence of world powers meet with iran over its nuclear program for the first time in fifteen months the u.s. and e.u. have been imposing sanctions on iran over suspected nuclear weapons development

which tehran denies. and voting for villains the indian election citizens choosing between a rival murderers and mafia fraudsters that's not a fifth of candidates taking part in sunday's poll the new delhi have a criminal past. x n r t the struggle to survive and get justice for those still living in the toxic shadow of the world's worst industrial disaster in india . good old notion of a corporation is based on what's called the limited liability limited liability means that individual participants are cannot be charged with crimes that the corporation commits a crime to or limits one of the maison runs its course rounds for a corporation acts in such a way that kills the managers will see you. have limited liability i mean it's not

a disregard for human life and maybe the nicest people in the world maybe give to charity who knows what but in their institutional rule as managers of the corporation there is a task to take us to. that task is to maximize profit in markets or. 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 so cheap the union carbide start went up by two dollars a share saddam was in there if you can not mean that it could be such a grueling sell out because the new government agreed to send all cost present and future liabilities for as some as small as four hundred seventy million dollars. to see as little as five hundred dollars but late long in greece and the unpunished.

every month 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 should get 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. as in health. they are gas and water victim children were born with deformities 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 to some sort of burden but . you're welcome. i thought at first i. could afternoon c.h.r.y. this is only some reference to law and i'm joined on the line by sanjay. who is an

activist in the bhopal campaign and also a survivor of the terrible disaster in one 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. cork i would call that it happened in a moment i are. writing and buried in a lie. because i had no one with me at. all. she would write they all died and it was right out. and she was right. i re not really in my own eye that you want to play and i remarried. right. sanjay was less than two and one time 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 ten. all the years of my family all ran away but i was told later two of them died in hospital my. mother my mother and father were. the bodies of three sisters who were nearby right as. the other two are missing. they lost their parents. and three sisters and two brothers call in one night. my family members die because of this fact. and his sister when this west indian village. got into the goldman. a thousand. people were carrying out bodies from the street from the houses around one thousand to ten thousand people have

died in the next seventy two hours and. twenty five thousand people have died. i remember my thought that ok and i'm going to. start right then ultimately i might . and i kind like other organizations i think. that. now we are right a lot of the young guys actually. if they're playing that in all know how condominiums in the pack how on going to the soil on the factories they're like because again. i'm not paying attention towards them. what we did is we just want to assist the experience of chemical contamination

within the factory and outside and see if there is a link it's because they're by employing it is an example of inequality that's despite. the fact because despite having a. little policy let's hear mitt romney and modi enough and it's all very high most of the ideas are and won't be that little baby the song mostly as it is fact been invented just now and i think this little bit out and you can still see most of it is the stuff of this is that and this will not survive and that the plan is very highly mobile mostly. we have received very important documents in that case i think established very clearly that union carbide knew in advance of the early one nine hundred seventy three that this pollution problem that we're 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 nine hundred seventy three union carbide a generic or warning the company that will call plant presents an unusual challenge

in that there's no nearby running body of water into which waste can be destructive . so from the design stage waste disposal at walpole plant was and was a major concern. a lot of waste streams from the client emptied into the area of the plant known as the solar evaporation pond area. here and this is where the waste in toxic sludge were down to basically and carly were standing right on top of it and the other side as you can see there used to be a small leak which you had a car but also used as a dumping ground for they waste people depended on the water from the link so they drank it just cost and pathetic. union carbide knew from the design stage that the bhopal plant could pollute groundwater they also knew that there was there was a surrounding community that used that groundwater for its drinking water supply.

so they believe that they can get rid of someone. by evil parading it and then when they had like some kind of sludge but they took all dust from the bones and they dumped here and there and you see this black lining underneath the ground of this landfill they believe that this kind of lining if there were this training underneath the ground it can keep the best away from the fire. you will see lightning and i needed on every day i was here. we believe the solar of operation ponds continues to be a source of the subsurface water pollution that's now reaching through the arkle 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 zone what we

found very high was clearly you see out here was you very well known as it only english and was this fall. this is really an isolated that there isn't one. off on the fact that you want it is still being contaminated and people are forced to drink contaminated water because they do not have any and that's why the cloth away will remain a source of pollution for this area until it is remedial the party that he knew that is you know the symbol mark the twenty fifth anniversary of the tragedy at union carbide india ltd facility in bhopal and even today it 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 gopal. we are saddened by the fact that the site remains on remediating adding to the tragedy that occurred the site today is in the hands of the state government my dear pradesh the state government owns the site and together with the central government they are trying to get the site cleaned up union carbide is now a wholly owned subsidiary. of dow chemical. in two thousand one out all those third board. carbide approved the burger agreement that will create the world's second largest chemical company and taking over does complicate things and doesn't because the law on contamination is very clear in india and in the us and which is the principle of the polluter pays principle it 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 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 no no no no that is one of the walkabout i get on when it is like people are. drinking contaminated water you know this is like one of the water. in the neighborhood and then he got this bomb tested everything highly contaminated but they do not have any other choice and they are drinking this water. they were like sometime two thousand and four it was sometime in the evening. when i visited back to my home there was a letter written by my brother. i'm going to die in a few minutes so take care of yours 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

only. both of us took my brother to the hospital and finally had to write that thing. and 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 if anyone came over then she would go and times in the bathroom he used to say he could hear a voice in his mind i believe there is a war in hell's with time but in bhopal case it's getting worse. if you blame each other for everything new solution will come. a government blames the company we blame the government or the governments of first a company suffers and most importantly the people. i don't remember 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 this question he said you're goldman he said to me your governments like. they have been big people from. so if you're going is not willing to help you then what will you. do for you. another particular night on the second on third december some gases from the union carbide leaked and some of the people died now 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 nine compounds out of which were deadly. just like in hiroshima and nagasaki it had an adverse effect on their genes so similarly this adverse effect of the gas is causing genetic mutation in india the author would like that we don't speak up

because he's not a good image for india in america they don't want to talk about because in spite of the fact that there is a wall of unthought arrest against mr one hundred m. just so and mr anderson has retarded beautiful house in. new york of course. i'm a big bend it was a boom population we're looking at we're going to be inventive and one of the implications of the book nation which you know the more than thirty thousand people and the people who are drinking the polluted water. i don't the problems is can problems that is this is through the company to prevent infections industrial. age of forty he. had all of our sake and that's the position that i'm going to get specific governments are not in the business to protect the population. it's what

they say they are it's usually a pretty local. take any worry that somebody stored in the paperwork or the record store it's pretty awful lucian's. often the loss of the work crew the population the leaders who are willing to take the risk or do something. i mean there's some history. here. these want to respond since starting on clearly the government just pimping for chemicals and these are the. same people who have so far stopped justice for the gas victims. we strongly feel that only occasionally of the twenty seventh anniversary we will be able to store the mixes and we will get justice.

the way they are they have not to go rushing out on line of people the other ones will buy that we have a lot easier to be doing it on the front it's been involved in your business not the rehab or you don't like him pretty five years what can we not get just because that is what he does what is needed to look. busy to make good like i was hired to do in origin acquisition for union carbide to bring all of the computer applications on the same promise dowse i saw how a corporation works because they are more concerned about bottom line profit name anything i just decided that i was making more time line profit for just the wrong people and without chemicals made the decision to purchase union carbide knowing that these liabilities were outstanding so when you purchase the assets of a company to purchase those liabilities we are we are just asking for our right to

clean water union carbide has fully exploited the sort of international dimension of this problem it informs the american courts that new york law can't apply because these events took place in india but the same time the same be in law doesn't apply so in effect they're arguing that they're above the law so there are international rules. for. course international law has no enforcement laws of force for some but it's worse if the united states doesn't course. political but they should take responsibility for the. dime from the water no one is offering clean water there butchers. tell cameco go to how to go to how to how. agents of tao should be spanked. if you look so good to the jurisdiction of india then you'll have

a bridge to the american boards and the american words after it was up. in two thousand and four the supreme court's directed the government to provide clean and safe water but the government the state and central has failed to honor the supreme court order. and then again on the promise that by november two thousand and nine the government would supply clean water but that's a promise was never fulfilled because some pipelines were laid in some areas but not in every area the water the supply and the science is duty and not reach for drinking water all speak up. and they're prepared to british pollution control board certified against very high concentrations of coal i do so knowing this water is what is being supplied to the locals to have given their lives.

oh i. love the. company should be allies but it cannot break this country's low. budget if we win this fight outsiders ok nothing gained will be for years the people of ohio. might give you no cost what we have asked for is the cleanup cost union carbide should clean all the poisonous and powerful toxic chemicals that are stored inside the plants. on the ground water which is polluted in a radius of three kilometers around the plant should be cleaned and union carbide should be paid for back to the speaker to. bring i'm dissidents in india bring them here. chemical leave india leave india on top of that we have asked for

compensation for the victims who are suffering. and 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 and you know he has already admitted we are fighting for our society we are fighting for our country we are fighting for gas victims and it. is only by virtue of the fact that this afternoon for it in the degree of hard wired to be able to exist the data that's coming out this year afresh known bailable warrant has been issued for an anderson. unless the government fails to wake up and help then we are committed to fight the next twenty

seven years against the nexus between the company and the government the process could change dramatically if you are with it very serious and that's the kind of stuff that is understandable i mean they're not they don't have the authority to stop and look at it again in government but what they have done is said to the government if they want this relief. and if you're here write it for them there's all this. there were all the survivors in court there's a good if they have submitted a letter or that that's all over the cliff or you're like. that's going any ideas from our research one thing is very clear the union carbide india factory is infected with constant feeling because it is a cause in which will not lead to death just by touching it so i can understand why they might pradesh government is saying there is no poison. but it is also true that it's a kind of cause and 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 this word with all the facilities that god has given everything here right destroyed. that 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 passion will never come down. every year names of people dying because of his unburdened pursuit of profit. and what include will fall a saying is that he cannot sue it in part not allowed to go. because life is sacred and that cannot be violated. that

it is my house the twang things or the strength from the rest of the world who will get justice from dollar company like. the one hundred fifth anniversary is just to learn not the four year for the verse read the first of the diverse read will be as important for the final goal and the goal is to clean the factory farm all those toxic effluents which still pollute the water that the people have to drink. in the amazon i want the world to understand the crime of these companies the profits from the analysts projects as the shown to be. the same products poison our lives will not. we should never allow down to continue their poisonous business in any other city in the world soon as another poop our who not to repeat it. eat any were three gives us more spirit gives us more encouragement

people i don't know why i have been formal five and we get more support every year than the previous year if there is justice and this world would be safer for all of us to live 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 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 to 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. ah. ah ah.

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ira.
