not even you don't consider me fast and do. not prove long. average of the cards this year they're lucky for you cannot be easy to present to produce the item so that they are. style of play such an easy to transcend their. own past that bag or start your shop on a book is good is it just nice it's real you know i know all of the share. in the rock song and he's told her mom on a duplicate bottom of their domain all of. the key pos said that some on their. own feel so you can see the minutes half an hour or so while you are. the ones that actually see poor who are not exist. econo i just stood you know at least at that time soon there. soon as you natalie's institutions and their so why don't you think aussies act off some of the names to

marked out for complaint from our atia. with conflicts multiplying the power of arbitration tribunals granted and become more threatening. this time 2 populations one in the us and the other in peru where the victims of the same multinational ranko a huge polluter. is c.e.o. i rendered a wall street financier is one of the world's richest man. his foundry had poisoned the small town of herculaneum mystery. he is now poisoning another city in peru. the communities come together to defend themselves. back in about 2000. 1 i was taking

a bus from one guy you'll up in the central highlands uproot down to the coast capital city where my family and i lived. before you get to the city you start to smell the city. you smell think you smell led and you see the vegetation begins to get out. and much of the rock is coated with white gravy it almost looks like calcium deposits. and we stopped the bus and i got off to stretch my legs we were taking a break there in la jolla for about 10 minutes and there were a couple kids who were walking down the street with their mother they were hacking their lungs out they were coughing really really bad as we went to the side of the smelter smokestack is. tons of pollution what you see is the passive contamination of what's leaking out of the holes of the

smelter. there's no filter on that there's no chimney to get it up and out of the valley. who you know you know the. polio or main thing. we don't know and i want to. know if you're going to be. he said he. was noisy. when the peruvian state filled in foundry. to the group in 1997 its condition was no more polluting emissions. the company agreed to meet the new environmental standards but instead of investing in the site. committed tax evasion and sent the money to $2.00. juries one in missouri and the other in the cayman islands.

the city of la roja which south americans call the chernobyl of the andes is ever more polluted. and the presbyterian church was became more and more aware of the inner connections between. the u.s. economy and. an emerging economies around the world particularly around the issue of extractive industries and we asked the question what if there was a connection nexus connecting folks in missouri with folks in peru. hunter farrel mission director for the presbyterian church in peru learned from pastor eleanor's talk of st louis that another equally polluting dove run plant was located in herculaneum missouri.

this town 3 also belong to franco. the pastor decided to go there with peruvian archbishop federal grant. links i formed between the peruvian and american communities. pastor eleanor stock had organized a meeting she invited some environmental health specialists from st louis university fred mandel sit around and 2 representatives from the la toyia community. we had a conversation had a meal together and talked for a couple of hours really just sharing experiences around the circle and as each person spoke every testimony that was given from people in her killing me i'm the folks in loughborough you would say that's the same situation we're facing the same situation in our city.

and the stories are the same same things are happening same relationship with the company same kind of intimidation and threats same kind of 9 there was an issue of same health issues in both places. the mobilization began to bear fruit. in 2005. the university of st louis led by professor fernando serrano went to peru to do the 1st blood tests on the people of the overall yeah. you're looking to kill any of those means the soul only to the you. but at the will . they are going only was there they would you. say swallowed

oh yeah. it was too. little. then the leave us with towels. and seal. and let the man in also and then to say i'm going to go through all. these. guys we have seen the men who are you. and. i will. keep a low profile that. knows i think that. even if they enter there's no doubt. this is a drug dealer's. ok. you're not a. night out. as you go in there. and i'd be. yes he will. within about

an hour what is not the point we are learning there really going to i mean as you. get overly condemning this year. in any will there. i said was that. this year. there is risk. then i'll let it get as good as a story the. only horse you will in most any look is only to laugh where is her. foot is that it gets in and out when there is a look at. you if you see your it is hell. and while you're in the west what do you get even at it was in a movie to see not. that i can do yet. not there. let's hope not i see

a lot of she turned. into the. following the blood tests done by us doctors the community is torn apart. leaflets are distributed denouncing the misery vampires who suck the blood of peruvian children. they threaten with violence those like rosa morrow who fight to alert the community about heavy metal contamination. rinko then threatened to close the factory. in. there are a lot and there were a lot of mostly by the workers. and also because of the old. or younger. great to be proven government was continually

assaulted by the threats of the door run company which said 4000 jobs will be gone tomorrow local folks desperately need to do the jobs so it became a significant issue and every time there was a threat or the rumor moved through town saying that the company might be closed or the approving government was going to be forcing the closure of the company folks would hit the streets. 3 or you know i'm sure all of. you know it was easy you know that there was. this and you know yeah. we call you. know. all the doing of it only i didn't know you and you were able let me just love

it if you believe it was out of the basement. when i found. out that one will not let the trees to be a little you know you look sees fit. because they may respond as somebody would look at a little you know it's a momentous time when he's on the scene or little you know somebody in the say who built who's coming to the foreperson and then in the living not used to list unless you were not there when the birth only i've been you mean on the. right. over here. i want. to go for that. oh. oh. oh you know what if you. already have. more ground.

well the. list. is your media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led to. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallowest. field . to get. you just have to fly between 2 columns of fluid and as fast as you can lift. so

much because i was watching the producer with the push for the. first and other late years that. i know it was impersonal says thank you of course what rushes in racing is competition in the extreme to have a follows the specified route between the lines with the fastest time just. as reasonably good humans are going to try to reach you should check your dish believe muslims should keep their release for. the conclusions of the study are irrevocable the foundry is poisoning the citizens

for reuben the health of his eldest son klein is particularly worrying. brooke that there would be sure this except doesn't look at. programs out there it would look to work through. our sydney go to said look we're going to think that you would joke. we're already knows dozens if you see it the growth is the one feature is a false nuisance the form of the work you just don't know work in the way they're not. let the level of the you're annoyed. with you know. 97 percent of the children had lead levels. some must highest $30.40 micrograms per deciliter which would be crucial children in such conditions in the us will be hospitalized here in the us.

there's some significant cognitive disability there's some significant motor skill coordination issues children a lot would be losing between $1.00 and $3.00 i.q. points for every year that they lived in the city. i mean it outweighs it will be a moped one of these you julie you've got a lane but it's not going down. but it's really. good noise there was a couple yes when they said we're not going to get

a little bit of very useful eager to get him through the us. he immediately really is that if you need to. go you're. in 2009 because of the lack of investment by ranko in environmental standards at the site and due to health issues the state ordered its closure just what iran it was hoping for. it's an indirect expropriation the domain of international arbitration. iran which attacked the peruvian state and the trial took place in washington without the people of laos. that being the case please let us invite mr hamilton to begin his oral submissions thank you. for so enough to release. their record source of course. as one of. us

costs us yglesias. mean us by the race mother he's going impress us you thought about how glorious. economical as you'll. see the treaty allows an investor to bring a claim against the state either on the claimant's own behalf. for its own injuries for state conduct or it may bring a claim on behalf of an enterprise that it owns and controls for loss or damage that the enterprise has suffered free trade treaties have the state investor clause which allow companies corporations to. local community government groups states nations if they feel that their profits are being undermined in any way past present or future profits. that means if local communities that are being poisoned if they object if they do anything that the

company feels is interrupting their profits. they can be sued the local folks in peru have real fears a lot of doubts about the arbitration system feeling that it's almost like it's described as a faceless jury no one knows they're not accountable to us we don't know who they are we don't know who got them into those positions of arbitration put the decision making it took it away from local community and people who would live to reap the consequences of those decisions and put it in the hands of people whom we don't even know. to give a voice to the community of love the regional archbishop. obtained a public hearing at the foreign affairs committee of the us congress. and the st louis researchers. were called to testify in july 2012.

it is the grave threat to the people of bahrain meant as a studies have shown. great concern again is the multiple exposure all this toxic metals affecting the body and the effects. so a discussion of the economic and legal and other factors related to the relationship between the united states government and peru in different work of the u.s. trade for you agreement i believe i believe we must put an emphasis is we must make a priority of the hail need civil rights of the people of our especially the children and especially the born children being born with lead in their bodies and that is something that we can see they're completely unacceptable. as ms morrow if she would. know is. that

a politico. they can equal exploded and then go through there then i would oh yes. but up with. his last couple yeah. after hope you know that i mean. iraq i mean that's how well then what of the. yes. but yes that is but i have this. predicament that would better than but as i move. this much at this is a man that unless they look at $11.00 of my concerns with each of the free trade agreements going back to nafta with mexico which i did vote against primarily because of workers' rights and because of environmental protections while on paper it looked to be very strong and robust and i'm wondering cigars to the peruvian free trade agreement very similar week this with regards to environmental standards and are we doing our part as

a government to push on that very important area. help spicey to his lawyers over 1000 children from laos filed a lawsuit against iran or in a local court in missouri which had ordered him to compensate the people of herculaneum in 2010. to avoid this lawsuit. attacked peru before the international arbitration tribunals. promptly after filing the notice of intent in december of 2010 rinko ran directly to the court of the united states. in an effort to remove. claims brought by children of law. from state court to federal court they'd written code did that by bringing to the

attention of the united states federal court the existence of a treaty dispute that case played out over a period of years and in 2016 the international tribunal found that rent-a oh had failed to comply with that obligation under the treaty to waive local proceedings it's a very specific requirement the interpretation of that requirement was agreed upon by and the united states and the tribunals found that there was a violation of that treaty requirement. the claim and go to the arbitration wrinkle was refused because of every songs but sure wrinkle can again wreak label receive the proof so that is why we do need

a. lot of careful to avoid cool. adult the risk of the regular gigs we the brew we have will remain. a symbolic victory for the peruvian state which although not condemned is still required to pay between $4.00 to $8000000.00 of legal costs. and while the people of herculaneum were compensated those of lower roya have received nothing and continued to breathe polluted air. my greatest hope is that people particularly united states will recognize the cost of a wax legal system that allows corporate polluters to. literally get away with murder. at some point we've got to recognize the fact that while investors have rights. no one has the right to take away the intelligence of

any child and no one has the right to contribute to boys and children and in a committed. in europe they will lose formidable lacson has raised awareness. european institutions are starting to act. in march 2018 the european court of justice invalidated a fine of 22000000 euros against slovakia imposed by an arbitration court judging this sentence incompatible with european law. this could serve as jurisprudence for conflicts within europe. in making this decision the european court of justice seems to want to reaffirm its sovereignty and jurisdiction. the european commission is

also preparing a project for. public international and permanent court to replace private arbitration. but we must be realistic multinationals will never relinquish the exorbitant power granted by arbitration tribunals they can count on the world's top lawyers to defend them and remind them of past free trade agreements signed by states. all the more reason for civil society to remain vigilant and continue to demonstrate and resist so that states don't give into the lobby of multinationals. to defend the freedom of states to legislate. to preserve health and the environment all over the world. and to defend the interests of the people

rather than the major private corporate interests. seem wrong. just don't all. get to shape

out. you can stick to it and it. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person with those great. military thinks. we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy

confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. there's a workable a global solution of the polluter to move the major issue to the. center but it's on the going to be used on a young muslims only as a name for their list any of those almost moved closer and. closer to the real steve is still going to cheat the both of you so. the point was to be used to move the book with their skulls discovered that those with use of these visibly at least use roots by the up in the media of course

a. prominent russian opposition activist election about me is out of it and used car about his alleged nerve agent poisoning has seen a wave of accusations directed at. also ahead this hour. protests against police brutality in the united states showed no sign of easing we look at how the unrest has led to a surge in gun sales. extradition hearing gets underway in london the wiki leaks founder is wanted in the u.s. to face espionage charges. hello there live from moscow this is our chief international with well.
