who has a detectable level of p f a s chemicals in their blood the if they store per and poly flora area a class of artificial loud grown chemicals that do not decompose an air or water or of the human body not even for the hoses of years p.f. they are used in fast food wrappers water repellent fabrics nonstick cookware like teflon cosmetics and firefighting foam according to both the international agency for research on cancer and the us environmental protection agency p f a as are possible kirsan engines to humans this c.d.c. lists the side effects of p f a s chemicals as they can affect the growth learning and behavior of infants and older children they can lower a woman's chance of getting pregnant interfere with the body's natural hormones increase cholesterol levels affect the immune system encreased increase the risk for cancer now with cities and towns across the us finding elevated amounts of

p.f.a. ass chemicals in their drinking water and considering it could take a decade or more for concentrations of the chemical to leave our body i think it's time to get serious and start watching the hawks. told. the first real that this would be a large part of the arctic to see. what it feels like you are going to. sleep. with a digital. city . and joining me from the t.v. do you find that asserted right. there lesko host tyra relevant thank you so much for joining me today. it is it is

a little rainy and surely up your blood boil boy talk about chile is these p.f.a. yes is good gracious yeah it's sort of amazing how how long they say am i in the body but i want to talk a little bit first is the point of this or that sort of central part of this case is that this lawsuit is different because it asks for action instead of cash why do you think it went this way instead of just asking for the millions or billions of dollars oh. well you know but you know how much i love seeing corrupt corporations who poison people pay through the teeth you know in thousands or billions of dollars i love that but what's really interesting about this is the plaintiff the plaintiffs are seeking something fascinating robert below the attorney for the plaintiff she actually told the interests of quote this lawsuit could provide a mechanism for addressing and resolving those concerns through a truly comprehensive and independent science based process paid for by those that

actually created the problem and not by the american taxpayers they they want a panel they want to they want to study this and they want the corporations who poisoned us to actually pay for this study and then follow the rules that this study but potentially put into place what's really interesting the science panel was actually created to study the effects of p.f. away in the middle valley and found a probable link to six diseases from exposure to chemicals one part of the seagate panel which was created during a lawsuit against upon this has precedence so that the company cannot contest the findings of the panel so that this is what they're seeking actually has a certain precedence and goes to educate us more about the content of the content of it that they put in all of our bodies and apparently across the country of the world and in the end that's amazing i sort of find that fascinating and it's a very interesting way of sort of using litigiousness. to force action instead of

just getting money back from them now this year a number of fire companies and fire training facilities across the country been replacing their fire fighting foam which was made from the sort of schedule b.p. . chemicals because it's been going to show and to contaminate groundwater and it's been in city after city the environmental working group actually calculated that one hundred ten million americans may be contaminated with these with these chemicals through their groundwater and through these fire fire foam so something that's meant to say about us actually ends up killing us the long run. we need to stop the contamination before it gets worse right how you know how are we doing that it doesn't just affect fire but there you've got to imagine that all new job it's a dangerous job now we've already made it even more dangerous. there are you know

you're made one of the tools that for her for her is relying on dangerous to the firefighters i mean it's completely insane. so meyer michigan state fire marshal surveyed fire departments in the state six hundred twenty eight fire departments have responded in two hundred eighty of the six hundred twenty six fire departments now have class b. foam which is this form which some of the foam is being kept and because it is the stopping chemical fires but this was actually not for anything that holds. twenty two that they create with this you know it's awfully ironic that the thing that so full of chemicals is the best thing to so fly these chemicals. one of the things we have to remember is about these kind of chemicals is that they're they're not just in one place they're in your drinking water and things that are supposed to save you they wrap your food. it's a version of tough one which is. one of the off season five i believe dupont or dow

had dupont have put together is another chemical that's like to fly on but not teflon but still also very horrible and you know it's like what else out there can get us. right. but drew is that right i would have slowed we can't even get anything right at this point in terms of chemical use. eradicating smallpox was possibly one of the biggest challenges humanity has faced and it took decades and cost billions of dollars but now micro biologists are worried the scourge could possibly come back and say a controversial study is actually to blame artie's turn of the chavez as more on this story. smallpox is considered to be one of the deadliest diseases in history and although it was eradicated in the nineteen eighties a controversial study of a similar virus sparking new concerns earlier this year researchers published

a paper in an open access peer reviewed journal and has since generated global concern in the article the scientists described how they were able to piece together bits of d.n.a. to resurrect horse pox although the virus hasn't been seen in nature for decades the researchers were able to assemble it using genetic material they ordered from a company that sent the sizes d.n.a. while horse pox doesn't harm humans it's a close cousin to smallpox which killed hundreds of millions of people before the world health organization eradicated it in the one nine hundred eighty s. with vaccines only two stocks of smallpox remain one held by russia and the other by the united states for research purposes the new work is raising troubling questions about how terrorists could use modern biotechnology even governments are known to experiment in bio warfare which makes these sort of studies particularly concerning on a global scale critics argue that the paper demonstrates how you can synthesize

a deadly pathogen and gives way too much detail the information on how to do it and now microbiologist are worried that that same kind of technique can be used to revive smallpox while there's a smallpox vaccine many are worried that the virus strains could be manipulated in a way that the vaccine would not work a move that could put the population at risk of a lethal pandemic if the virus was released as a terrorist bioweapon the study has reignited the long running debate on how science should be regulated reporting in new york trinity chavez our take. because our poisoned water wasn't enough we'd like to bring use i mean you know me i'm not a big one for regulation or getting government involved in doing things but seriously can we just get rid of. smallpox why are we keeping it why does anyone that goes out to the u.s. and russia this seems terrifying what do you think you know it is you know it is if

it has if you can weaponize it you know the military industrial. complex of the world are going to use it as a weapon but you know what's really sad is that kind of goes along with the first story you talk about again it's are we cutting off our noses to spite our face of the pursuit of you know whether it be better rappers for fast food or you know studying a horse you know pox or whatever you know it's really ridiculous the we would make mistakes like these and allow this kind of information to get out there you always have to be cognizant that look human beings as for all of our greatness we also can drop pretty low and if you put something out that people could then later manipulate you've got to be aware of that you can't just trust people not to do something wrong with it because tragically that's kind of human nature. yeah the idea of bringing making biological warfare great again is just not something you know it's like we just get past.

thirty nine year old saudi journalists from all because show gate is missing and even presumed dead after he was at the saudi consulate in istanbul reportedly to obtain documents he needed to marry is fiance in turkey and has not been seen since turkish president erdogan is requesting proof of life the opportunity to search the saudi consulate and access to surveillance footage from the time in question officials in turkey allege that they have information suggestion to show he was murdered in the card slip by a team of some fifteen saudis flown in especially to do the job though no evidence to support the claim has come from the turkish government as of our broadcast because she's a writer of a washington post global opinions of a column best known for being the first major arab journalist to interview osama bin laden in the one nine hundred eighty s. and is known for being highly critical of crown prince of saudi mohamed bin so months reform movement earlier this year to show he told al-jazeera quote as we

speak today there are saudi intellectuals and journalists jailed now nobody will dare to speak and criticize the reforms and by the crown prince so as pressure between saudi arabia and the rest of the world heats up over everything yemen to iranian oil for the disappearance of them all because shogi forced the international community to act joining me now to help further explain this mysterious former jock chris thank you for thank you so if you so can you explain to me a little bit exciting one of the hard things for people to understand is how could a crime committed inside a foreign consulate be in vesta gated by the country the consulate is in and how could that cause by. will and the other have to do it with the permission of the country whose consulate is is in this case saudi arabia or in the worst case they can they can close down the consulate early in the week give me money get out of here i'm sure it'll be glad to ask jennifer rubin i'm sure she'll get it or not

only that but they were the point is i don't know that it has to do with press freedom in turkey and it may not even have to do with the wounded sense of sovereignty on turkey's part and may simply be that for other reasons they want to pick a fight with the saudis and they're using this as a pretext so can you kind of explain to me the simple terms of why turkey and saudi arabia are are not on the best terms so there are a number of reasons to some extent we can say it's a struggle for supremacy in the sunni world i mean obviously iran is the leading shiite power but you have a distinction between the gulf monarchies particularly and a more populist base like the muslim brotherhood that everyone is close to and let's remember that for a long time one of the one the ultimate enemy was leftist baathism and communism the saudis the other gulf states supported the muslim brotherhood but with them with the arab spring they began to say you know this whole populous thing is sort of get out of out of control and being a monarch may not necessarily be the best place to be if these people take power so

i think there's that sense that that. it is pretense to become the new sunni soltan of the sultan of this sunni world can use a more of a populist campaign against people like the saudis so they cut off their support say they're terrorists etc etc so i think there is that that distinction between them and there's a lot going on also in this sort of soup of the middle east is that you know saudi arabia and iran they're saudi arabia saying we don't mean iran is oil and iran is sort of laughing at them do you think this has anything since i think i think has something to do with especially since the turks are going to get hammered with american sanctions for buying buying iranian energy you also have a parting of the ways on syria let's remember that for most of the war for the law . seven plus years the saudis the turks and the qataris and the gulf states have all been supporting the same terrorists in syria right now with turkey moving closer to iran and russia where does that leave the saudis than their game plan especially since it's pretty obvious assad is going to win the war in syria one of

the things i found really interesting about this story is that normally u.s. officials are you know elected u.s. officials here they haven't met a saudi saudi situation that they can't excuse is they want you know saudi money and they won't take their it's really hard to find someone really being critical and it was so i was sort of shocked that one of the biggest sort of iran haters and saudi supporters senator lindsey graham actually surprisingly tweeted this out today if there was any truth to the allegations of wrongdoing by the saudi government would be devastating to u.s. saudi relationship and they will be having praise to be paid economically and otherwise do you think if this comes out that the saudis did in fact have killed or that they're holding him somewhere and they're lying about it are we going to see the same kind of sanctions that we saw with russia and madeleine or the chinese north korea are we going to see that is there any chance of that and think there's

i think there's a chance but i wouldn't bet on it. remember they are the biggest consumers of lobbying services in this town they own half of this town the israelis of course on the other half and in alliance together they run they run the city everybody knows that. if there is a bridge between them for some reason and you know who is turning against us that that could be big but i think that would be a necessary precondition to see any really serious confrontation with reality what do you think is going to happen i mean what are the next steps we have because shogi still missing there is a lot of reports of what could have happened what are we going to see next obviously they need to get into the consulate do you think that that will. show anything are or what do you think is going to happen or should we expect to hear i think the ball is in there going to court he has some options as i say he can simply order the consulate closed and search the thing now what if they do that and they don't find anything then we still don't have any answers the question he also

has i'm sure there's a lot of dialogue going on between between us. and riyadh to try to come to some accommodation here and the saudis will have every reason to make some concessions to go on especially if they are guilty and they need to find some way to to to cover their heads let me ask you this as someone who sort of bet on that side of you know you get information like this one morning and it's like what should we do what you have to analyze this is a journalist's life is that it does that make it any more or less. of an issue does it make does it have more or less power when it's journalists use that stake because it seemed you know as a journalist watching that it's terrifying that someone can just silence you when you go to pick up some documents or something do you think that that has more of a standard or is this new is this surprising that there is actually concern over attorney it's bigger than i would have thought that it really depends on who the journalist. after all we've seen for example russian journalists killed who cares

they're not really human beings anyway right exactly you know exactly you know if you if you were the situation and anybody cares much about you as i was doing i don't know exactly what movies washington post new york times c.n.n. something like that you know then you're going to get some attention because this is part of the aristocracy and that's so sad because that's our class this sort of world we live in that you know this is the one place we weren't supposed to have like classes and parade and it was like oh i get it out i'm always trying to be. positively hoping that this ends up being something that's a lot less horrific than it sounds in the news but we'll keep an eye on it and hopefully things will well and without any more pledge to thank you so much thank you senator. for helping us make sense of this for you. cause players dressed up as their favorite comic book and movie characters to express their fandom in all sorts of ways but one group who placed third at the marble

the united nations security council in this approach to yemen is going into this into the speech of employees it affords many months or two months and then that is introduced when the the it owns i mean that imminent to be presented to the security council would make the statements which would have been easy to. believe that. this is crude oil. so they need to actually physically pulled it out of the threat he would have well well well well. there's a lot of money with the oil and with that comes. a lot of a lot of people from all over the country. if you don't make a hundred thousand dollars a year. there's an issue. here in the. they

were told sixty dollars a day hard work well work was not easy. and so they want to relieve their stress of how do they relieve their stress these may move that outweigh that comfort that. people have been murdered up here people can raise their massive drug issues up here you have a boom you have everything else that comes along with money. the u.s. is trying to cling to this idea of the u.s. dollar reserve currency empire they've built over post world war two era right. gets into debt to the america and pays homage to america china russia africa. they're all saying now we want markets. markopolos we want to we want to trade directly bilaterally we don't want to be part of the globalization that.
