cheever's it christiane even may know christiane a cheek when they need to respect that the main of the people or a lot of people in this country they don't want to see a lot of muslims on of their allegiance who are being this simple privileges to presenting the constitution in the court this isn't something we are told no the edible of the main constitution or the country on the may question what country need people will be who to present the law without any other religions to be mixing in this law. by seizing on c.n.n. international if you'd like to comment on any of our stories and do get in touch by following us on social media we're back in 30 minutes with the latest headlines. for you rocky is now they live better should we have had a much better 17 years that we could have had a much more prosperous iraq

a stable iraq yes as their. mistakes happen absolutely could damage accounts have made things better by far they could have done they should have have made it better but that does not take away from the fact that they have i was to a tyrannical dictator who was bloodthirsty i mean participated in the murder and killing of hundreds of thousands of iraqis are millions of more of the around than the invasion of kuwait and so on. i understand that he of vermont doesn't know how to lead the world in getting off drug addiction to oil and moving for global energy as fast as possible the planet

will be unlivable for organisms like. i used to say let's shut down vermont yankee in 2012 the promise there we may be sure that actually scheana cleans up the mass and much of our governor who's going to move us to removal energy and move to his chain energy future let's vote for change on november 2nd thank you so much. peter shumlin. do solemnly swear that i will be true and faithful to the state of vermont. where there will be true and faithful to the state of vermont.

federal regulators now say that for my gang he is fit to be open for another 20 years or do you know bowler joins us now with the latest on this jena kristen late this afternoon in a conference call that n.r.c. clear regulatory commission and now said they voted to extend for martin please license the n.r.c. says it will formally issue is includes a new license and a matter of if but under vermont law the public service board and the legislature must also approve a license extension. are

you going. on. tonight on nightline a nuclear emergency a massive new exposure rocks a crippled reactor plant in japan prompting the greatest fears yet radiation catastrophe and a new wave of back to a should. call out for this reactor up in smoke how dangerous radiation leaks can be a plant located on a seismic fault a smoldering disaster zone the latest challenge at the fukushima daiichi site a fire in the number 4 reactor that's right down here in the area just near the rules were highly radioactive spent fuel rods are stored in this turn for the worse

in reactor 4 after a day in which there was some evidence japan might finally be making some small progress as it struggles with the worst nuclear crisis since trolled. let's assess the risk with arnie gundersen he's a nuclear safety advocate who consults with them on state government about the month yankee nuclear plant mr gundersen is joining us on the telephone sir based on what you have heard this is reactor number 4 there was a fire there the other day what does that tell you mr gundersen i learned from my sources that the radiation levels in the 4th reactor are so high that they've had to evacuate the personnel from there. that indicates is that the fuel pool is running out of order and if the personnel are not there to keep it refilled it doesn't surprise me that radiation levels are increasing dramatically if the wind turns and goes the other way. i would suspect contamination not just in japan but

but potentially korea and china as well unless time they have before this is catastrophic it can boil dry in a day so they have on the order of 24 hours to straighten it out arnie gundersen is a very sober assessment we appreciate your expertise you have experience building these spent fuel rods checks and we appreciate your expertise tonight i can't say i enjoy what i'm hearing but i'm glad we're getting from someone who knows this so well mr gundersen thank you so much.

i choked angry i felt scared felt very sad when i heard about fukushima because of the people there who were displaced and because of the contamination of our world environment. those folks had to evacuate and god knows for how long i love this place i love where i live i don't want that to happen here. i don't want to see this beautiful paradise destroyed like that. in the united states there's $23.00 general electric mark one reactors identical so fukushima daiichi. came on line almost. to fukushima daiichi you know what. they have the same design. the same reactor same contractors worked on them and the same flaws and weaknesses. the containment

structure designed to hold in all the radioactivity after an accident is too small by $986.00 the nuclear regulatory commission had determined there were 85 percent probability that the containment would blow up and fail in the event of a meltdown. so much hydrogen gas would be released that the containment would be blown to smithereens and all of the radioactivity inside it would be released to the public. shima show decided to percent 3 of. the regulators have known that this design is. capable of withstanding an accident since it was built. during the middle of the crisis of hoover she went to each one of the key regulators at the n.r.c. got him chuck casto said this is the worst containment in the world. well if a source containment in the world why are we keeping $23.00 of them running here in

america. the actual human daiichi was caused by an earthquake and the tsunami. but really at the root of it was that the earthquake knocked out the offside power and that the tsunami knocked out the cooling more pumps on warm me ocean. that can happen anywhere you can lose offsite power from the storm or from a tourist action and you can lose the pumps they call the plant from the same exact cause so we don't need a tsunami we don't need an earthquake to cause that kind of damage in an american nuclear plant. i'm here because i think this is very dangerous we're facing the end of life and as

if it just simply about. when i heard that. it up i was devastated. i thought i've got to get erik at yankee because it's 10 shelf the cliched. well or.

we would like to believe. i'm not reading. everything that i know to do and all i have left is my body. get in the way just say no. we will definitely be doing it together again you. name in a women a women. after me and when people asked me how many times have you been arrested and i say not.

the afternoon. today entergy sued the state of vermont in the u.s. district court. lawsuit claims that vermont should have no role in approving vermont yankee spew church after 2012 in the state of vermont i don't think it's too much to say that this is this is an anti-democratic situation you've got a large. wealthy out of state corporation trying to have its way and override the legitimate laws. of a sovereign state and it's a it's a power struggle unfortunately for not being its size it's a david versus goliath power struggle but. when we've got a lot of energy to fight. it's the 1st day of the trial entergy corporation versus the state of vermont and there

are many of us soon a lot of support in the state of vermont in that legal battle we believe that corporations are businesses that operate in the state of vermont should be should be falling through bought long. this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where is it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the ide the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is power lie with the people. this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways.

we're going to. probably. but. it was. pretty.

tough now you want to. know. well you. can link up. in london julian assange is standing trial on whether he will be extradited to the u.s. to face espionage charges the stakes could not be higher songes libya even life is on the line freedom of speech is also on trial though you wouldn't know that mainstream media. when it became clear that entergy was going to continue to operate past the end of its 40 year license which came to an end on

march 21st 2012. we felt that it was necessary to. take an action that would inspire people in the area not to give up. not to allow themselves to be rolled over by this corporation. we are here to demonstrate in the most dramatic way we can that a gross injustice is being attributed by this rogue corporation the entergy corporation against the people to government of ramadi and the whole surrounding area where all of us are threatened by this reactor as long as it stays open and we're calling upon the entergy to respect the democratic process in vermont and to

shut this dangerous leaking accident played plant down. there are times when you feel something so strongly that just holding up a picket sign or just attending a rally or demonstration is not enough you want to speak with your whole life whole body and so we are placing ourselves in jeopardy jeopardy of being arrested and possibly jailed in order to make the strongest statement that our conscience is called post. mistake years life mistake years or future generations the very things that we need

to exist clean water clean air the health of our citizens it's all at stake and for what. for right now it's just for corporate profit that's all it is. it's a power struggle about the will of the people to decide what's best for them. it's a political struggle about the basic fabric of our country despite democracy so this is about whether people's voices are going to be heard.

yankee is shutting down nuclear power plants will close by the end of next year of officials from entergy which for my yankee made a surprise announcement this morning. today's an extremely tough day for us of interest and more importantly really 630 employees and for my yankee earlier this morning we told these men and women the vermont yankee nuclear power station will stop operating at the end of its current fuel cycle and move into the decommissioning process in the 4th quarter of 2014. this decision was based on the economics of the point not operational performance not litigation risk. nor political pressure simply put the plant

costs exceed the plant revenue in this asset is not financially viable for those of us and. it's not good news it's a very sad day. it's sad because we're worried about what's going to have more friends neighbors for the folks who have to move it's going to be painful see them go nuclear plants around the country warmest financial pressures right now they're getting old and everybody knows it costs more to maintain an old car than a dozen new car the same is true for a nuclear plant. all of them are going to require modifications from lessons learned after fukushima daichi. from my aunt he was going to need about $250000000.00 of repair and replacement over the next 2 or 3 years to keep running and entergy didn't want to spend that money. entergy new that from entourage were

not going to allow this plant top arrayed unless it was in top notch condition. and they couldn't afford it so they pulled the plug on for mine yankee for economics but it was economics under the scrutiny of a smart electorate who had kept themselves in form for the last 10 years. the closing of vermont yankee is a victory for democracy. entergy would continue to operate if it wasn't for all the hard work all these people did to make this happen is a win for david over. people power works we as citizens have the ability to effect change. what gives me hope in all of this is that. in some little way our

actions are going to inspire others. ali i. think you know that in my mind there is no way. out people often say to make a wish my grandmother or for her like you know i say get your grandmother did join our benedict group. and you know we did have a victory for egging meant that the whole state i feel fortunate to still be alive and in relatively good health and a boat you know struggle. you can't do it alone you need kevin unity to do this son then you're going to support one another and

low fat head together. there's no getting around the fact that the site where vermont yankee exists on the banks of the connecticut river will remain as a high level nuclear radioactive waste dump endangering people for miles and miles and miles and miles around. the poisonous toxic legacy of what has been created is not going to disappear and it will affect future generations for a time. this

is a technology that's fundamentally flawed i don't believe we should build a new nuclear power plant ever again and i think we should orderly manner shut down every nuclear power plant we've got. beginning with all of these mark one designs that are identical to vermont yankee and identical the fukushima daichi. then

gradually over the next 10 years do it the germans are doing and shut this technology down tree.

in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalists attacks particularly catholic population in belfast tens of thousands for forced to flee their homes and what was striking to point these attacks was that the are you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing they were active participants in the burning of coal streets in belfast at the time more than a 100 innocent civilians with blood as the you can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and of the currents which the collusion was involved in some of those cases the killers would later be named goodwin and gang i think it went to the very very top i think if the phones crossed

the water where all the patients you thought was going on and give the go ahead. crack skies or financial survival guide. when customers go by to reduce the price. to now well reduce and lower. that's undercutting not what's good for markets it's not good for the global economy. good. luck. and.
