minutes past the hour thanks for checking in with all of the international and me kevin no end of a great rest of this month. the crisis in the crisis began is that the way used to be now there is just one crisis on top of another read on the world one starts and one stops and it's just a multiple crises stacked up you know right there and funny and you're thinking to yourself my goodness gracious what happened. i was sitting one day with my friend in her living room and we had

started speaking about him again now it's like wow my baby. it's going to be 12 years and she was like. why was the 1st city buried him again i'm like honestly are really don't know the only thing that i know is hard i . don't want back to the hospital where i gave birth. and they were like yeah but you have to communicate with the correctional facility. i caught. and those lady that i spoke to so she was like you know. that the baby was there. you have to set down a way for police officers to actually open the gate and lead to when. they actually make you sign papers. before you even get on the ferry.

like ok. what can i do is the department of corrections going to treat us like if we visiting in jail. but once the captain got close so was an axe to me to anybody notify you on they notify me. and that's why he gave me the news we can find a child here. i. just broke down rate there my daughter my oldest daughter she broke down crying in. here and i. met.

him in. the net. and me and. we bonded and this. is a. legend about how people grow up in brooklyn or we're very strong stuff very straight forward. and we're people bad have resources. my resources as always been my family. as i grew up i went through all that the ratio discriminatory situations that the world knows of today that happen in america. i have learnt. the humiliation of being that many.

the civil war free the slaves. didn't know. was my civil war. it's the 1st place i ever felt whole as a may use the 1st place in my life that i ever met a mayor. of my opposite color that the strew to heart and soul about the i guess to be. his name was richard. he's gone and been gone since he was 19 is oh was a machine gun. he is that boy from aachen soul who taught me of white and black love. and

becomes family with men. with will. comradeship we call it. during. my trial of war years shit. my wife was 17 years old and pregnant with my 2nd pregnancy. she gave birth. insane organs unable hospital. and when i kept back to the united states of america i had no knowledge how to handle any of this type of a base. so when it was exposed to me that it was

twins i didn't even question where of the one was when they only showed me one. now that's a picture to play. because she's never spoken to me about it. that's because in maturity. i joke with the situation. everyone in the world knows no one was the very different me or possibly. who should have to go there. i think he always wanted to have some kind of relation with kim he didn't want to lose it but he couldn't control himself. he had

a he had the devil in him when he was born i guess. and it was hard to fight it. and kim always wanted closure she always wanted she always said to me from i guess 16 all the way until she is now that she said i know i know deep down inside i'll always talk to him i'll always be able to tell him my piece of this story. and one day we get a phone call and it's a new york times a conus up and this moment nina bernstein and nina said to me do you know you're related to bruce hanson i said yeah that's my ex-husband and she said well i have to tell you something. it was really shocking to me to discover that new york state law a law dating back to the 1900. sheree. required the city to offer the

bodies of unclaimed dead to medical schools for deception. i learned that there were 22 cadavers. that were in cold storage at albert einstein medical school. you know basically the these could hours are just lent to the medical schools they are supposed to then be returned to the city for what the city considers proper burial which is a hard island trench. i tried very hard to learn the names of these cadavers because i wanted to reclaim their stories. one of the last of the 22 that day was bruce hanson.

even though his body had been in a cul storage for 3 years it had been on lists sent back and forth between the medical school and the medical examiners office the medical examiners office had not done the 1st thing in terms of trying to find someone who knew bruce hanson and would care and it was easy. their job is to be the last and most important source of information about this person. they had his name they had his name when he 1st arrived to the morgue they had his name when they put him on a list too. offer is

a cadaver for just sections of medical school. when i had the name and i did the 1st basic search it came up immediately his ex-wife in new jersey. one phone call and i had her one phone call and i was she was carrying the phone to her daughter. nobody called us i never changed my last name it's still hansen i live in the same state as new jersey nina had no problem calling me up to find out. each shouldn't it ended up in there they should allow the. for 3 years being in albert einstein hospital just. you know going through their medical procedures for 3 years to put him in a cold box pull him out cut them up put in it's awful. it's awful.

i'm angry at how it happened and i'm angry with. the medical examiner the hospital . the people you know that still won't give me information on him you know it's my father i should have a rates you know how he died i'm never going to find out. the medical examiner's office calling to find out what you know. the hospital not giving giving you a hard time by getting the records everybody is hiding something. so the hospital's working them with the medical examiner which is working with hearts island you know they obviously don't want people to know. most of the mistakes that

they made or things that they just didn't care about. and think about all those bombs on the street. meeting they contacted every single person's family. they throw them probably in the islands. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you there. was a pandemic no city you know borders and just lying to nationalities. as

a muddled up with the we don't look like she world peace thing. judgment 2 is coming very close to sleaze listen to. you better we should. everyone is contributing to each her own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created the response has been much so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. no you have said he is just for a vacation no york city is just sad and have fun. in the inner city is

now. a place sashimi be living and. snow. and kitchens i want to bring in today talk a little bit about where we are with the case in the position of the arguments the city is making in the fight i'm having with the city continues and i told them what you and i have talked about before like if you tell us what the b.b. is will drop the lawsuit today that's what this is all about we're trying to find out they don't believe us i think it's about money it's not about the search for the truth. one of the issues for the city or katrina is if we hear that they don't know there are other cases like yours that are out there pending and they don't want to make bad law they don't want to make their profit so the further make a cautious back and so

a stay on both the latter these things bad things will happen to the city so they're part of their delay is to not let this case come to trial because there are other cases that are going to follow shortly board. and found that they really aren't doing much because all they think it is about the money there and honestly like has said. a lot to whom this for money i want my son back that's saying. what we know right now from from the record so we have to say that autopsy was performed the body at some point was at the morgue. we do have some indication. on one of the records and the body was released for transport at this point we don't know if it was transport to some type of medical facility for research we don't know where that baby was released to we know where the baby was supposed to be

released to not start island. any there with the city of new york is always going to take me years. getting records have a city york requires motion after motion after motion for a judge to compel them to respond they're more concerned the security issues and welfare issues and housing issues and all the things that make the city a unique in crazy place. it's almost like. no matter how much will. never happen i can never guarantee you that i'm going to give you an answer that question and i know that's the most important thing to see and that's been the focus of my case it's always been about getting those answers. i need.

to join the union. they came for one cry. to be free equal mitt. period. and i feel very emotional about it because. not only are the soldiers interred here . but so is my daughter. i named her a ship. we call and i was selves with many questions. about our daughter. so we hope to bring closure to our family and to bring on a love and respect to

a so. that we haven't had the opportunity. on a properly for almost 50 years to this day. to not to have touched the earth. that she's buried in it don't lose me to go over there to lay the 1st wreath at her grave site. and fame or respects to my daughter who is buried on odds. and i just feel of the city of new york and. then i came to change my plight. to brain on a. respect. and some type of fitting memorial

statue. over one hog island. for these soldiers of the civil war. to have a city this modern this cosmopolitan that still buries the unclaimed dead the way jacob reese recorded in the 19th century. it just doesn't make sense. it's archaic it's bizarre and yet it also represents a truth about america about the western world perhaps. that

this tremendous inequality not only still exists but has has widened. björk still house the door is still a name to conjure with it still sounds a musical note to people in some distant part of the war. new york is distinct york has always gone its own way. new york has its own bitter humor. its own kind of culture its own kind of literacy. new york is not sentimental because the city is us not care and the city is not there about noon.

that is one of the attractions of new york city forces and this monster you have to fight. you have to actually wrestle with the city in order to just. get the very basic necessities of life. and so the idea of the city having something on its conscience this is rather small block frankly. i mean. with all honor to the dead they are dead. i think that city has always wanted to forget about what alan city has wanted to forget about the people who are buried there it's wanted to forget about the fact

that there is a potter's field that there is a place where difficult stories are hidden. new york city is celebrated as the place where anyone can achieve their dreams but those dreams have them in the cheers by everyone. it's true of people toiling away digging out the titles for subways we're building our skyscrapers. is true of people who are wound up homeless or because a society shunned them as happened during the aids epidemic. those stories might not be flattering to tell even more it might tell us things about our present that would run a face. we

owe it to the people who have been buried there and are being buried there to bring their stories to light. so. my bill to me the jurisdiction of hard island i believe that we're at a place where we can finally the momentum is growing to make hard island a public place that is not forgotten. 1000000 new yorkers who built this city made this city the city that it is today they should not be forgotten they need a better space to be resting. the

bomb all or are. born. to you.

what the earth. or why the board. the poor the or are. the

you. bad. 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 spearing dramatic development that

only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful. to sit down and talk. seemed wrong rowles just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days comes to an answer. and engagement equals betrayal. one saw many find themselves worlds apart. she still looks for common ground. the crisis and so the crisis began is that the way is to be now there is just one crisis on top of another raid on the world one starts and one stops and it's just

a multiple crises stacked up you know right there from me and you're thinking to yourself my goodness gracious what happened. new gold rush is underway and gonna thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich give a good. as. children are torn between gold. was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to school which side will have the strongest appeal. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the

day or thinks. we dare to ask. shocking images of children killed in the crossfire as violence between israel and palestinian militants enters a 2nd week with no end in sight. little children feel 234 years old what did they do that made it necessary to kill the people tomes of peace is. it becomes a system that is between israel and gaza militants continue with missiles fired from both sides in israel blaming a mass for the escalation and civilian deaths. i want to say is a form of command in the i.d.f. to the citizens of gaza we love you we want you to leave and know my life.
