but do they really want to governments that big business are often complicit. the vattenfall group for example had the chancellor's ear she even appointed its ex e.e.o. lawyers just of thin to be her personal advisor on energy transition. most heads of state are ambivalent. for a new you don't consider and if asked i have. no proof long. averaging to provide i discern their lucky for you cannot be easy to present to produce the items so that they are point style of play such an easy to transcend their. own past that bag or start your shop on a book is good is just nice it's real you know i know all of you share. the walk so going he's told her mom in a duplicate bottom of their i don't know ha phone. the key boss said that some on

poisoned the small town of mystery. he is now poisoning another city in peru. the communities come together to defend themselves. back in about 2001 i was taking a bus from one guy you'll up in the central highlands of peru 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. much of the rock is coated with white gravy it almost looks like calcium deposits. 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 there was plenty of. people. if. he. was noisy.

when the peruvian state filled in foundry dover in peru to the ranko 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 i ever rendered committed tax evasion and sent the money to $2.00 subsidiaries one in missouri and the other in the cayman islands. the city of la roja which south americans call the chernobyl of the indies is ever more polluted. and the presbyterian church became more and more aware of the inner connections between. the us economy and. 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 the folks in peru. hunter feral mission director for the presbyterian church in peru learned from pastor eleanor stark of st louis that another equally polluting dove run plant was located in her killing him missouri. this foundry also belong to franco. the pastor decided to go there with peruvian archbishop federal grant o. . links are formed between the peruvian and american communities. pastor eleanor stock had organized a meeting she invited some environmental health specialists from st louis university dr mandell struggle and 2 representatives from the lawyer community.

we had a conversation going to be all together and talk 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. the folks allowed or you would say that's the same situation we're facing the same situation in our city . and the stories were the same same things that were happening same relationship with the company same kind of intimidation and threats same kind of denying there as an issue the same health issues in both places and. the mobilization began to bear fruit. in 2005 researchers from the university of st louis led by professor fernando savan know when to peru to do the 1st blood tests on the people of that over a hour. that

is. surely printer plenty of those means. only to the. good but at the will. going only was there they would be. he sees a load oh yeah. it was. then they do this with those you know. and seal. a lot of men in also women in the same going through all. these. guys we have seen the men who you. and. i have all. the fun that. knows i think.

a look at. you if you see your ink it is hell. and while you're in the last what are your good even at it was it would be neat to see not. that i can do yet. who's not there. not to see a lot of cheap vandal. through 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 contaminate. rinko then threatened to close the factory.

to company. they do. a lot and there were a lot of mostly by the would go to. an old soul because of the old we would all yeah. you will parade to proving government was continually assaulted by the threats of the door run company which said 4000 jobs will be gone tomorrow local folks just really needed to 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. or you know.

you know. you know. this and you. know you. didn't want it and then they never let you just love it if you believe it was out of the basement. when i started it is. not it was thought to. be a little you know you look he's been doing this you know because they may as opposed to somebody would look a little you know it's a momentous time when he's on the scene or a little you know some what do you say. who's coming to visit or persona and then in the living not used to most of us you will not know when the 1st only i can do anything on the.

oh our. very own people have come from oh. oh. oh you're right if you really are you're the court gonna. be looking for and all those. years. oh no you won't believe. what the pandemic no said you know board is just blind to nationalities.

to so much little time but certainly we don't look like seeing the whole world needs to be the people. judging. comedy crisis least the sentence. we can do better we should. everyone is contributing each of their own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenge is creating the response has been much so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together . please. you just have to fly between 2 kinds of money and as fast

as you can and do much article i was watching the producer with the push for the school back. to nature for some other nature just that. the engine was still as important as still bunch of us water rushes in racing is competition in the extreme to have a full as the specified route between the lines when the fastest time whims just beautiful little dog losers not me but you're going to church every church community for you plus lou should link you there really for you over. the world is driven by shaped by.

the day or thinks. we dare to ask. 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. in a book that there was this except 1000 look it up look up us up. so there it would look at. our city go to. see if. there's too much force and use it since they were 1st on the new york at

the point i'm not. knowing. that. 97 percent of the children had lead levels. $30.40 micrograms per deciliter which would be crucial children in such conditions in the us from a hospital here in the us. there are 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 usually you got a lame but. you'll. get a. really. good noise soon is a little bit of a little bit. useful eager to get him. he immediately is that if you need. in 2009 because of the lack of investment by ranko in environmental standards at the site and due to health issues this state ordered its closure just what iran had

was hoping for. isn't indirect expropriation the domain of international arbitration. ira rennert attacked the peruvian state and the trial took place in washington without the people of. that being the case please let us invite mr hamilton to begin his oral submissions thank you. for still enough to release. their record source of course. as one of. us process iglesias. yours by the race murder case. impress us. economical as. the treaty allows an investor to bring a claim against the state either on the claimants 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 caused the state investor clause which allow companies corporations to sue local community government groups states nations if they feel that their profits are being undermined in a new 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. the marrow and the st louis researcher fernando serrano were called to testify in july 2012 and we have sound scientific evidence of the great threat to the people of the environment as is the studies have shown. great concern again is the multiple exposure all of these toxic metals affecting the body and the effects. so a discussion of the economic and legal in other factors related to the relationship

between the united states government emperor in different work of the us trade for you agreement i believe i believe we must put an emphasis is we must make a priority of the hail needs and rights of the people of illinois especially the children and especially the born we had children being born with lead in their bodies and that is something that we can see they're completely unacceptable like you know. if she would. noisily akiko needed a political. they can equal exposure to being black eagle as you then either would oh yes eco matter to put out. after hope you know that i mean. iraq i mean us have then what at the. had not yet. but that is but i have this.

legal. d.n.a. that this much at this is a man that unless that open $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 if the gores to the peruvian free trade agreement is very similar week this with regards to environmental standards and are we doing our part as a government to push on that important area. by st louis lawyers over 1000 children from. filed a lawsuit against iran or in a local court in missouri which had ordered him to compensate the people of herculaneum in 2010. this lawsuit.

attacked peru before the international arbitration tribunals. probably after filing the notice of intent in december of 2010. ran directly to the court of the united states. in an effort to remove. claims brought by children. from state court to federal court they'd go 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 rental 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 peru and the united states and the tribunals found that there was a violation of that treaty requirement and the claim and go to the arbitration wrinkle was refused because of every songs but sure wrinkle can again wreak labor receive the proof so that is why we do need a. lot of careful to avoid. the risk of. the provable 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 have received nothing

and continued to breathe polluted air. my greatest hope is that people particularly the 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 tribute. children in a committed. in europe the well those formidable action 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 a 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 a. into the lobbies of multinationals. to defend the freedom of states to legislate. to preserve filth and the environment all over the world. and to defend the interests of the people rather than the major private corporate interests. so.

there's a wall of hope all of them are 1st multiple little more they'll close your masers sure they're. going to put it down as the guy who. was only as a name for a list of the most. was the. chief don't.

want to be used to move the book was discussed discussion of those that would he was up to the plate. by the other media of course 3. they didn't want to listen we all 2 of you. probably haven't thought vaccines have to be acceptable to the point too late before they were rolled out in a in a society because then was acceptable there is a real risk undermining faith in the vaccination system as a whole and i think governments are under such pressure to introduce a vaccine rapidly that the willingness to consult and to ensure acceptability somehow to new growth.

for the rallies held across the roses protests against the president and a 2nd month leading to hundreds of arrests our correspondent was there. then now john did president bush a good to leave to leave the presidency for a 2nd round of elections they want change. plus in the stories that shaped the week germany agrees to work with moscow on a probe into the alleged poisoning of opposition figures alexina belli an issue that fired up german lawmakers. why does novell need such a level of protection from a security service political mud it is part of the putin system why would the russian government be so stupid that an even let no one a fly out to germany instead of hiding him in russia until los angeles.
