for example, we thinknk -- there is just one chernobyl zone.ut what a few people know is there's a second chernobyl zone nearly as radioactive as the first one, and southern belarus. it was created because a couple of days after the accident, moscow leaders realized a big storm front was brewing and it was sitting northeastward several large russian cities, including moscow. they sent pilots and the pilot manipulated the weather so it rural belarus.-- it probably prevented the exposure of millions of iran dwellers but they did not tell anyone in belarus. lived in these rural areas intra-prickly raging hot conditions of radioactivity. another misconception we have about the chernobyl zone is about 300 peopople were hospitalized. nuclear plantstly operators and d firefighters. that was only one count from m e hospital. ,hat i foundnd is 40,000 people with 11,000 being children, streamed in the hospitals in the summer after the accident for chernobyl-related exposures, especially in the southern territories of belarus were wondering what was goioi

and now and now, chernobyl vodka.e, we had reports of this earlier in the programme. this is a company, scientists have come up with this. the idea is that it's a social enterprise but the money is put back into helping those who lived through the disaster because they're still having very poor quality living conditions and prospects, et cetera. south of the profits are going to go. all the profits are going to go to help the community in the ukraine and try to help track — track change the narrative from nuclear fallout. to hopefully —— economic development. it's fascinating how a new product can start to be a change agent for good. i wonder what next. we'll be having grain? but going back to this nuclear thing, this is a distilled product and has had to be scientifically proven that there are no radioactive matters there. it's interesting to see what the next thing will be out of the chernobyl area whether we'll be eating tunable she is, don't think so eating tunable she is, don't think so just yet. —— eating tunabl

what was it and how does this compare to chernobyl?it's on a much smaller scale than chernobyl. chernobyl initially killed a bit more than 30 people but ultimately we think it killed thousands because of the radiation. fortunately this test was happening on a platform at sea, brooke, so it does not appear to have had a large number of people around. the radiation was detected in the nearest city at significantly high levels, at least for a brief period of time before the russians took that off the city's web site. so what happened here? we think what happened was that the skyfall cruise missile, which, as you said, weaves around and thus doesn't follow the normal path of say an intercontinental ballistic missile was being tested. it is supposed to be repealed by a small nuclear reactor. this is something that the u.s. in the 50s and 60s gave up on because they couldn't make it work and it had radiation risk. the five killed were scientists from the institute. they said they were working on the reactor and could not get it under control

"the new york times" reports russian officials have released a flurry of misleading or incomplete statements playing down the severity of the accident which the military first reported on thursday as a fire irocket engine. it was not until sunday that russian scientists conceded that a reactor had released radiation during a test on an offshore platform in the white sea. that pattern of murkiness continued on tuesday as news reports and official statements offered only the vaguest explanation for evacuation, and hours later seemed to

if you saw the chernobyl series, it did not end well. we're in the first two episodes now. how this thing unfolds. >> huh? >> not to challenge his wisdom, but it's kind of the opposite way. we were talking about that earlier in the show. there's so much that's out there that we're inured to the impact of anything trump says. it's kind of the opposite of when the ussr was keeping everything very close. but the fact that he's saying anything -- >> he wants to be on television which is why he says provocative things. he was once in the inner circle now on the outs. i don't think the republican party will listen to anthony scaramucci. >>> when we come back, there was one democrat conspicuously missing this weekend, at home in el paso because of tragedy. ♪ boom goes the dynamite, ♪ feels like i'm taking flight. ♪ [sfx: poof] [sfx: squeaking eraser sound effect.] ♪ i am who i wanna be ♪ ♪ who i wanna be ♪ who i wanna be. ♪ i'm a strong individual ♪ feeling that power ♪ i'm so original, ♪ ya sing it louder. ♪ i am, ooo ooo ooo ooo ♪ ehhh ehhh ehhh pre-order and get more. get up to

one they could mask it like putting a big sarcophagus over chernobyl. a nuclear incident that would basically shield it. the second side, the fire, whatever the explosion may have died down and gone out and with it you no longer you have that rising cloud, that plume we can trace. so those are two very realistic thought process of why they have actually been able to turn those sensors back on. melissa: if that is going on, what would the damage be to the rest of the world, to the surrounding area? you know, what's the danger? because obviously this is nothing close to the size of chernobyl, but everybody watched that show on, you know, network that documentary was on, everybody watched it. what are, what's the possible fall out from this? >> there are several different things that affect it. one is the type of wind that goes by. if it's a very low level wind, five to 7 knots, that gives the radiation staying power over the there is a town 18 miles east of the test site was on white sea. that town has population less than 200,000. another couple miles ea

si to the chernobyl disaster. >> so what was the tipping point? and is this a sign of things to come when it comes to the president's supporters? joining me now, anthony scaramucci one-time white house communications director and author of "trump: the blue collar president." thank you so much for being with us this morning. with this axios interview, you compared the president to chernobyl. something of a nuclear meltdown. then you went on to say a couple more weeks like this and country over party is going to require the republicans to replace the top of the ticket in 2020. a couple more weeks like this, you say. a couple more weeks like what? >> well, the last time i was in this chair with you, john, we were talking about the racially charged rhetoric that led to a whole twitter nonsense from the president and obviously he then left to go to the two shooting areas. and so now he comes back from the two shooting areas, that was a total catastrophe. the only thing he was doing in those areas was talking about himself and praising himself and crowd
