using british depleted uranium rounds and the british main challenge or to tax. but the concern surrounding the effects of depleted uranium go far beyond just it's use in battle because it is obtained from spent nuclear fuel. it can poison the environment leading to disaster. so facts, not just for soldiers, but also for civilians. and while why, when looking at the if that to the us and the u. k. 's use of the chemical in the middle east, the international atomic energy agency publish in 1991 report indicated that deploying depleted uranium in the gulf war could have caused 500000 cancer. does the world health organization also war that it was responsible for reports of increased cancer's birth defects, reproductive health problems, and renal diseases in the rocky population following the us led invasion in 2003, but no one was ever held accountable. and harvard international review, noted that not enough research has been conducted to truly show just how devastating the effects of depleted uranium or on the public i searched for set for

the united nation. so that the organizations concerns about the use of depleted uranium anywhere in the world has been consistent and still stands. but it remains to be seen if there will be a response to the decision by the us to join the u. k. and using the doubly chemical to further arm ukraine. hello, there we were talking with stuff on guy chuck geo political expert in serbia. now, according to steph on, he says that by sending the top sidney additions to ukraine, western powers are the fact. so committing a war cry, and the supplies won't change anything on the battlefield substantially, but the wife essentially is doing what they do is doing is they are blindly saying yes, we are committing more crimes. we have done it in the past and we will continue doing that. therefore, we are certainly the depleted uranium munition that if the if,

if it is used basically if it reaches the battlefield, we'll kill people in the decades to. busy all the end of the complex that doesn't matter which way the coughing, and by the depleted uranium will continue killing people. and that is exactly what happened in different parts of already this long. yeah, we know what happened in libya and they've done it's done in the rock. i think that the biggest problem here is the biggest issue is this readiness all the united states and you can't afford that. that has already sent such an initial about torch as the russian army was able to locate and destroyed all of that. they are admitting it as they are willing to, to come into more tribes. also sending the cluster bombs uh, had the same effect or that is the program for now here on all the international. but i just wanted to mention quickly, you know, china has been dumping the dollar in, in recent years and used to hold one over

a trillion dollars of us treasury bonds impatient, and has now reached a need of 15 years low of the slashing installer holdings by nearly half meantime, can join conferences right now and indonesia, a further implementing of the united payment into face a non dollar a line payment system that rivals the swift big moves playing out of the g o. economic chessboard details on the news . the

puerto ricans were angry to buy a lack of political economy. only a small percentage advocated full independence from the united states. even fewer chose ones passed of parent military operations and robbing banks. the last one i did was 33 years ago in the most of the times, my role was as the protection against the police coming. so i was ready to engage in going far, even had to be to protect my comrades from, from getting caught. so i had thought that's where it was the

the island of point the vehicle was 1st colonized by spain in 15 o 8 in 1898. it became a us called yet it has retained its own cultural identity. today, nearly 3 and a half 1000000 people of a population greater than 21 of the 50 us states live close to house and living in poverty. the puerto rico is

senior year and over my, my professor for american history. mr. len james, he said, said, how would you like to do a term paper in lieu of the final exam? yeah, sure. and he said, why don't you do a paper on the spanish american war? and i didn't, i came to our door in the library to bottles of the library to read the congressional record. and there's nothing like reading these guys talk on filtered on the one side. it was referring to us for practically, as monkeys, in like these round races and this and that are going away. and then you had guys like a william jennings bryan and the anti imperialist, saying this be trace oliver, the united states. as a ball went on, we flush the colonies, we file for independence. what are we? we're going to become a buyer. now. the

for over 400 years for don't equal suffered as a spanish calling but in 1897, spain granted the island, a degree of autonomy. many hopes that this was a step towards independence. but it turned out to the addendum, the just months afterwards though he goes to the 1st election to the united states, invaded the item within 10 weeks, hopes of independence were dashed as the island was a next by the us. and then in 1917, the jones made for him, so he can see us citizens are like okay,
