the week's top stories this day's news out for a lot of us that sets the stage to send observers to syria with its first resolution on the conflict designs of course not the shaky cease for god's sake of the team out of his will pay for way for hundreds of. egypt's fortunes the mr presidential candidates that's for mubarak sidekicks are indeed out of the running thousands of islamists rather than foreign supporters of a new york venture former regime officials from entering the race. it's the

final push for francis top job growth to the extreme also concerns of immigration dentity an increasingly conservative rivals the person can see a bunch of them will hold something right it's paris. and the billions of overdose of christians around the world some of the resurrection of christ committing the fishnets to seven minutes of the us goes through cathedral probably thought i would use a clock in jerusalem to russia for centuries of tradition. that makes me a poor from india to meet the survivors of the world's worst ever. some of the old notion of a corporation is based on what's called the limited liability limited liability means that individual participants or workers cannot be charged with crimes that corporation commits a crime to a very limited it's one of the major runs its course mansour corporation actions

are true it kills the managers the c.e.o. the shareholders have limited liability and it's not disregard for human life and maybe the nicest people in the world not me to give to charity when i was working but in their institutional rule as managers. there is it ask that they must promise that task is to maximize profit and market. 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 proceeded to sort out the case for four hundred seventy million dollars which was so cheap the union carbide start went up by three dollars a share seven members and if you could not mean that could be such a cruel sell out because the government agreed to settle all the cost present and future gladly piece for

a sum as small as four hundred seventy million dollars. people in the seeing as little as five hundred dollars but lifelong injuries and. 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 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. it's in good health. there are gas and water victim children grow up born into 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 references 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 nine hundred eighty four well i worked on in paperwork i would. remember and i are so proud and but even right i ask myself because i had no one with the. right who would. she would. write that right and it will come out all right how did i so she was like. i really in a way i knew in my own i that you will and i are in ari. even

right. sanjay was has been. and still was nine his elder brother so mean he was only thirteen and these were the only people left alive in a family of them. and my family all runaways that i was told later two of them died in hospital. my mother and father were. the bodies of three sisters who were nearby one of. the other two missing. they lost their parents. and three sisters and two brothers call in one night. my family members because of this that. the sister will west indians image. but it is

a girlfriend because there was a thousand people and. it got into the people who were carrying out bodies convert jews 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 mark and i. got it right then ultimately i might welcome the fight and i joined like other organizations i think. now i realize a lot of the young guys are actually. playing them in on oil how contaminated a factory how convoluted in the soil on the pantries they're like because again the fact they love me and not paying attention bores them.

why he did this because he just wanted to assist the extent of chemical contamination within the factory and i will fight and see if there is a link it's because there by schooling is going to go on for of inability to cite because there are two possibilities besides the justified idea that it is you that is your methodology let him and will him and mostly and. dispose very high levels of lead as you saw and one who has little baby is almost as if in fact been invented us now and i think this will get out and you can still see mostly in the best of this is that identical it's not surprising that the band has very high levels of the multi. we have received very important doctors in this 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 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 nine hundred seventy three union carbide engineers were warning the company that the bhopal plant presents an unusual challenge in that there's no nearby running body of water into which race can be discharged. so from the design stage waste disposal plant was and was of major concern. a lot of the waste streams from the client emptied into the area of the plant known as the solar evaporation pond area. here this is where the waste and toxic sludge were down to basically and carly were standing right on top of it and the other side is you can see there used to be a small leak which union carbide also used as a dumping grounds for they waste people depended on the water from the lake so they

drank it and it cost and pathetic. union carbide knew from the design stage that the 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 them off. by evil grading it and then when they had some kind of sludge so they took all those luggage from forms 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 in this landing underneath the ground it can keep the bucket list away from the. lining underneath everywhere i would here. we believe the solar evaporation 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 order that we found very high was clearly you see it was using premium as it only english and one of the spoiled. william i feel very that there isn't one but that you're going off on the fact you want to do with still being gone damien and people are forced to being contaminated water because they do not have any and that's why the call for a will remain a source of pollution for this area until it really is the party that can do that if you are the symbol mark the twenty fifth anniversary of the tragedy at 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 pot. we are saddened by the fact that the site remains on really adding to the tragedy that occurred the site today is in the hands of the state government my trip. 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. in two thousand and one and all those third board. carbide approved the burger agreement well create the world's second largest chemical company. that does complicate things and doesn't because the contamination is very clear in india and in the us and which is the principle of the 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 no no no no no no no that is one of the water that i get on many of these people. drinking contaminated water you feel just like one of the larger problems. in the neighborhood and then we've got to walk out of this. highly contaminated they do not have any other choice and they are drinking just a lot. it was like sometime two thousand and four it was sometime in the evening. when i received back to my home there was a letter written by my brother. and i'm going to die in

a few men 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. both of us took my brother to the hospital and finally he had survived that. and before that he had run into a jungle where food he had tried to suck 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 hide in the bathroom he used to say he could hear a voice in his mind i believe that a war in hell with time but in both the war. beginning. if we blame each other for everything when new solution will come.

government blames the company we blame the government of the government so first the company suffers and most importantly the people who suffer. i don't remember actually who was the media person who asked me this question who do you claim to were actually according to you. before i answer this question he said your god meant they he said to me your garments. are getting you they have been betraying people. so if your goal is not willing to help you then what will you. do for you. well not particular night on the second and third december some gases from the union carbide leaks 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 are which eighteen were deadly. just 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 they all thought i would like that we don't speak up because he's not a good image of all india in america they don't want to talk about because in spite of the fact that there is a wall of and thought the rest against mr one hundred and a sun i mistimed a certain has retarded it beautiful hols. new york of course never made it just remember it was a look on population we're looking at we're going to be inventive and one of the implications of the book nation which wouldn't more than thirty thousand people are affected and the people who are drinking the polluted water think about the problems as can problems they did this is none through the window to prevent infections industrial. warning despite the tragedy in the country all of

those are sick and that's the position that happens if your specific governments are not in business to protect the population. it's what they say they are it's usually pretty low current. don't take any worries somebody story paperwork or the record company started pretty often pollutions. also were devastating for copulation but the leaders were willing to take risk or do something. i mean it's almost history. the. least want to response in its stock on clearly the government just pimping for dow chemicals and these are the. same people who have so far stopped justice for the

bhopal gas victims. but we strongly feel that on this occasion of the twenty seventh anniversary we will be able to destroy the nexus and we will get justice no . lawyer to help me go out get on the line of people the other ones will buy that we have a lot of that the people responsible for this didn't involve india this is not a rehab facility let it go but in pretty five years what can you not to get just if that is what you just what is needed a little bit until this meeting could make good looking i was hired to do emerge an acquisition for union carbide to bring all of the computer applications on the same traumas doubts i saw how a corporation works because they are more concerned about bottom line profit than anything i just decided that i was making more profit for just the wrong people and

chemicals made the decision to purchase union carbide knowing that these liabilities were outstanding so when you purchase the assets of a company purchased those liabilities we are we are just asking for our right to clean water union carbide is fully exploited sort of international dimension of this problem it informs the american courts that new york law can supply because these events took place in india but the same time the same be alone doesn't apply so in effect they're arguing that they're above the law so there are international rules. for. of course international law has no force was a force for somebody who's going first if the united states doesn't a person who's not. political but the should take responsibility for power. where dime from the water no one is offering clean water they have no choice.

dow chemical go to how it go to how you how. agents of dow should be spanked. if you look at subject to the jurisdiction of a deal then you'll have to submit to the american boards and the american workers after news of the above. in two thousand and four the supreme court's directed the government to provide clean and safe water up to governments the states and central has failed to honor the supreme court's order. them on the promise that kind of member two thousand and nine government would supply clean water but that's a promise was never fulfilled but some pipelines relate in some areas in every area of the water they're supplying the spices duty and not fees for drinking water. kids and bad goodbye to finish the mission control board certified against any high

concentrations of quality you said knowingly this water is what is being supplied to locals who have given their lives. no company should realize that it cannot break this country's laws. if we win this fight outsiders will gain nothing again will be for years the people of ohio. like you do you know what we have asked for is the keynote cost union carbide should clean all the poisonous and powerful toxic chemicals that are stored inside the plants. the groundwater which is polluted in a radius of three kilometers around the plant to be cleaned and union carbide

should be paid for about you because you. bring i'm just in to india bring them here now 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. the 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 utility of the money as we are fighting for our society we are fighting for our country we are fighting for bhopal gas victims. it's only by virtue of the fact that this happened in the degree of hard wired is able to exist today is. this year

a fresh known bailable warrant has been issued for foreigners anderson. and if the government fails to wake up and help then we are committed to fight the next twenty seven years against the nexus between company and the government the process could change dramatically if the indian government is very interested in traffic and someone something the government the made them not they don't have the authority to someone like him government but what they have said to the government if they want this really come and interview i think it often goes on that. they were all survivors in call of their so that if they have submitted a letter or that that's all over the police were like. that's going to have been some of our research one thing is very clear the union carbide india factory is infected with poison frank it is

a poison which will not lead to death just by touching it so i can understand why there might be a pradesh government is saying there is no point him. 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 this word with all the facilities that god has given everything here why destroyed. felt come on friends join the march with the victims and show that your passion was law school doubt. has not turned down because we did not get justice and unless we get justice our national will never cleaned out. every year millions of people dying because of his unburdened pursuit of profit. and what can fit in with policy is that you

cannot do it you are not allowed to do. because life is sacred and that cannot be violated. this is my house that's one thing we destroy and from the rest of the world we will get justice from company. with one hundred fifth anniversary is just to learn the four years of the verse read the first of the diverse three will be as important for the final goal and the goal is to clean the factory farm all those toxic air fluids which still pull you a water that the people have to drink. and amazon i want the world to understand the crime of these companies the profits from the analysts projects as they show on t.v. money these same products boys in our lives will not only. we should never

allow down to continue their poisonous business in any other city in the world soon this is not a good pal who will not repeat it. eagerly were three gives us more spirit gives us more encouragement people i'll know what i have been for about five and we get more support every year than the previous year if there is justice in this world would be safer for all of us to live in 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 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 it important precedent.

i am am . i

. well for the. science technology innovation called the list of elements from around russia we've got the future coverage.
