sciences to do some research on incidents of cancer in the vicinity of nuclelear plantnts all over the ununited states. is that going to be a a helpful study, , do yu think? >> yes and no. the national academy of sciences has conducucted for 7 consecutive occasions a thing called the biological effects of ionizing radiation, and they put out a report recently, number vii, and it was a good report and it said no radiation is safe, radiation is cumulative, and, yes, i trust them. there's a huge push by the industry to prevent really decent research being done, but in a way, it's unnecessary because the german government-- and the gerermans are very precise with their data-- examined, i think, 16 old reactors and looked at children under the age of 5 who lived within 5k of the reactors, and they had more than double the incidents of leukemia--children are 10 to 20 times more radiosensitive than adults--more than double the incidents of leukemia and a high incidence of solid cancers. and the closer they lived to the reaeactor, the h higher the incidence of malignancy. now, that study is absolutely

they were never exposesed t to . 11 years later, here we are, after the ununited states has full-scaletwo invasions and invasions of predominantly muslslim countrie, has bombed many others, has created a worldwide torture regime, has created a lawless prison in the middle of the ocean that has brought thousands of muslims, and even after all this violence and aggression and lawlessness, a full decade's worth, when recent protests broke out in the muslim world that were anti-american directed at the united states, that same question arose, why could they possibly be so angry at us? it has evolved to the point where there was bafflement theyy wewere not grateful to the unitd states for all the freedom we brought them. this to me really underscores how completely muslims are excluded from anything we think about or talk about in the united states. themve debates about without their participation, we have discussionsns about what ty are ththinking without actuaualy hearing what they are thinking. we have constant reports about who we are k killing and how may people w we are killing withouot

at the very least, i thinknk the ununited states could appoint a special envoy.s is something a bipartisan group and commerce has begged the trump administration to do. there is no point person even corn ending this. amy: is there any arms embargo in place right now? >> not at the present. amy: finally, how would you iness u.s. military action africa? you have been reporting on it for years. has it changed under president trump? >> as we've seeeen another contacts around the world, the military in some ways has been given carte blanche by the trump administration. we've seen a l loosening of restrictions in somalia. i think we're seeing a ramp up of the american-backed war there. more u.s. boots on the ground. there was an american special operations forces soldier killed there recently. two others injured. i think we're going to see more of that. there are still u.s. forces on the ground in libya. troops that are in western africa leading the fight against boko haram. it is early to see exactly what the trump administration is doing. i think they're in a heavily

with the muslim ban, building walls and fences, then walking away from climamate change e where te ununitedtatates has histstoriy beenen the greatest and responsible for the greatest amount of co2 in the atmosphere -- it's pledge is so weak, it is doing less than 1/5 of what it should be doing. he was absolutely wrong on his comments about climate finances. the fact the u.s.'s only pledging about $1 billion, which is a drop in the ocean of what the impact is happening around the world d and what is needed r poor countries to develop cleanly fielded tackle -- we have to remember billions of our cities are still without access to energy, still living in subsistence and facing party. i am originally from pakistan where four out of 10 people face multiple indices of poverty and just last week, we're temperature levels recorded a 53.5 degrees centigrade. that is literally the upper level of what a human being can tolerate in the open. this is the same country where one flood impacted 30 million people, covered 1/5 of the country, and costs the country billions and billions of dollars. these are

there used to be a time not so long ago here in the ununited statetes that companies said, "the only way we can survive--we have to be able to compete--is we need t to be able to hire these 6 year olds." it's called child labor. "and if you don't let us do it, well, then the british will allow it to be done. they'llll do it and the spanish and the french. we'll never be able to compete. and you must..." andnd at a certain point, the american pepeople looked at the condititions of 6 year r ol- and we had that working-- and said, "we understand you have competitive problems. we understand you have the... but that you can't do. you can't have kids, and you can't do what you're doing to them. that's out. you have to find another way." now, does that make sense? why exactly didn't we say to them, "uh, you have problems. we understand. we'll try to help you. but one option n you don't have e is you can get up and leave. you u can't tetell your workers on friday, 'don't come in on monday. we're moving to shangnghai.' mm-mm. not available. you lose. find another way. get a bebetter machine.
