i understand that he of vermont doesn't know how to lead the world in getting off rogerson doire and moving toward global energy as fast as possible the planet will be unlivable for organisms like. i used to. shut down vermont yankee in 2012 the promise that we may be sure to get into asiana cleans up the mast and much of our governor who's going to move us to removal energy and move to his shane energy future let's vote for change on november 2nd thank you so much.

peter shall. 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 her mind yankee is fit to be open for another 20 years or gina bowler joins us now with the latest on this gina kristen late this afternoon in a conference call the n.r.c. clear regulatory commission and they voted to extend for might lose his license the n.r.c. says it will formally issue resume to its new license and a matter of but under vermont law the public service order and the legislature.

also a permit less than 6. during . the night on nightline a nuclear emergency a massive new explosion 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 roof where 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 to pay and might finally be making some small progress as it struggles with the worst nuclear crisis since the turn old. 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 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've learned from my sources that there were. radiation levels in the 4th reactor are so high that

they've had to evacuate the personnel from there what 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 you know on the order of 24 hours to straighten it out arnie gundersen is a very sober assessment we appreciate your expertise you've had 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 feel angry i felt scared felt very sad when i heard about focus. 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 general electric mark one reactors identical to fukushima daiichi for mining he came on line almost. to fukushima daiichi you know what. they have the same design it. is 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 all of the radioactivity inside it would be released to the public bush era show decided. some 3 of. the regulators have

known that this design isn't capable of withstanding an accident since it was built . during the middle of the crisis and hooper she went to each one of the key regulators that the n.r.c. got in chuck casto said this is the worst containment in the world. well of 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 off site power and that the tsunami knocked out the cooling more pumps on warming the ocean. that can happen anywhere you can lose offsite power from the storm or from a target 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 a damage in an american nuclear plant. i'm here because i think this is very dangerous we're facing the end of life as planned it is just simply about the air power. when i heard that. it up i was devastated. i thought i've got to get air at yankee because it's own. 10.

dollars. we would like to believe. i'm not reading. everything that i know to do all i have left is my body. put away just say no.

we will definitely be doing it together again your. name in a women a women. 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 u.s. district court. lawsuit claims that vermont should have no role in approving vermont yankee speech or 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. 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 it's one we've got a lot of energy to fight. it's the 1st day of the trial corporation versus the state of vermont and there are many of us in 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 following for want long. in. 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 idea the idea of

a traditional participatory democracy is power lie with the people. this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways.

it was a very nice offer from president putin that i could have said no thank you or i could have said thank you and i said i'll take it and now it's time to introduce my is not bashful close to mr donald trump thank you susan very much for the. name whatever you want to name i mean i don't know how when i come that the news that's dishonest telecom that a recorder or a network that's totally dishonest c.n.n. is says you know 100 percent negative i can reverse the change fast changes so

fast sometimes i'll say that's going to be a great story be a pretty good report another as good as you. can. do we'll see what happens who knows who knows what we'll see on the field will be a success. with election day looming it's important to. change the g.o.p. . is there such a thing as trump is just a politico in established in the weeds understand why the bucket in the 1st one is just populism on the right but huge. this fall with us as american citizens need to be blocked off by. either an attempt by the other. guy and. i would vote

for a republican over trump i. for anyone who does not equal and has half a brain knew defeat dumptruck. is if you get. second wife. she can handle it. she and i divorce because our trouble is what the president and i floated for him and she can't stand for. the most important election. in our history list of the months to go before the next presidential election is the atmosphere in the us now. one of the highest priority programs. they do next cut just some of the questions leaflets will be in the lead. 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 but a gross injustice is being appreciated by this pro corporation the entergy corporation against the people the 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 plague 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 your whole body and so we're 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 owns vermont yankee made a surprise announcement this morning. today's an extremely tough day for us of interest and more importantly really 630 employees that for my yankee earlier this morning we told these men and women that 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 nor friends neighbors for the folks who have to move it's going to be painful see them go nuclear plants around the country are under the warmest financial pressures right now they're getting old and everybody knows a cost 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 daiichi. sankyo is 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 a minute 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 big tree 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. i. think you know that i find that there is no way. out people often say to me i wish my grandmother were for her like you 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 community to do this sound that you're going to support one another and over that they have to gather. there's no getting around the fact that the site we're vermont yankee exists on the banks of the connecticut river will remain as a high level nuclear radioactive waste dump in danger and people for miles and miles and miles and miles around. in this toxic legacy of what has been created is not going to disappear and it will affect future generations for a long time to go. 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 you know 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 daiichi.

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

there's a threshold at which. big tobacco realized what they were doing and that they continued to do it they continued to put more and more things into cigarettes that made them more addictive and made me want to smoke more of them in the point i'm trying to make is that social media in particular these artificially intelligent algorithms are doing the same thing.

as the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still has the lead up to the reality of it we're not financially equality and the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage give many people no choice you know there's been a problem with the city knows turn to the rich and told me stay away oh miss. requires. the most vulnerable and abandoned on the streets to become the invisible comes. the lockdown has shifted away all relationship with their bosses and their companies and how to account for costs . down to the granularity of toilet paper and the only industry i know where

paper costs are incorporated in the monthly or weekly basis is in the prison business. armenia and azerbaijan agree a ceasefire in the. region after more than 10 hours of talks in moscow. meeting comes as shutting destroys a historical figure in the disputed region civilian losses are growing with journalists also in the line of fire we hear from mothers whose sons are fighting on the front lines. we all have good serving i can share my emotions in church only i feel bad i haven't slept properly since september 27th as a soldier's mother and as a citizen of is there a breakdown as i myself am on the front line. the french president's plan to clamp down on the radical islamic threatens to teach him a lesson after outrage or upset.
