according to the world health organization this is one of the top ten most dangerous chemical products in the world we take some more samples. as well and you know it's enough to get. the results of our two tests are astonishing. inside the factory the level of mercury is five million times higher than the environmental standard. at this level of concentration the risks of developing liver skin or lung cancers are considerable. and the levels of lindane are just as alarming exceeding one hundred thousand times the standard level. this can provoke severe cases of cerebral degeneration. yet only twenty metres away we see children playing cricket on the contaminated ground. fights oh you know i mean i do you often come to play cricket here. do you know that's a chemical blend that is then. i mean for your diggers. and then either you can. i know that these children come here every day to play on the land near the factory they don't seem to realize the risk that they are exposed to. why do they get inside the country and not all outside and out and yeah but how can we give back to get out

i looked at the world health organizations website today. they were talking about how people are affected globally by climate change. and this is -- this is the piece of the discussion that's missing as well. how tens of thousands of people die annually because of the fact that droughts and floods. because of climate change, because of bad air, heat what have you what's going on. these people are dying because of things like zika that we had a scare with thp things like dinga and kohl ray. there are so many different components to the conversation yes steve bannon talking about this country. he what affects the world affects us. the two photos we showed of steve bannon were no from not from today. the president did leave the door open for further negotiations he said in his words to see if we can make a deal that is fair. leaders of germany, france a italy call key u.s. awries shot that count saying it's not negotiableable. the the idea that this is something going to be renegotiated that's no not really really. >> let me address two things.

in february, 2013, a world health organization report said that radiation from fukushima posed minimal health risk to the general population of japan. but the w.h.o. acknowledged that emergency workers at the plant who inhaled high doses of radioactive iodine face an increased risk of developing thyroid cancer, and that children exposed as infants in areas closest to the power plant have a slighthtly elevated risk of contracting l leukemimia, br, or thyroid cancer in their lifetimes. critics say that the health impacts of fukushima are far from insignificant and will increasingly be evident over time. one of the harshest of these critics is longtime antinuclear activist dr. helen caldicott, a pediatrician and author. she offered a far more dire view o of fukushima's s heh impact soon after the disaster. dr. caldicott, fukushima--is it possibible to forecast the heaah conseququences to the japananese people, and on what scale are they likely to o materirialize? >> well, it's a guess, really, but i have been following itit extremely closely every day since the thing started. and i must s

been all kinds of tremendous claims they've made about how safe it is a few years ago the world health organization listed the active ingredient glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen and that kicked into gear a process in california that when something makes that list they have to look at it because of a law they passed actually on the ballot in the mid eighty's called prop sixty five in opposition sixty five and it said that they'll be warning labels on chemicals that cause birth defects or they cause cancer and so that listing by the world health organization kicked the california process into gear and what it's likely to do is put warning labels on roundup itself and so that's really stunning when you think about the thirty years of months into claiming there's nothing to see here there's nothing to worry about and this is a process that uses a very strict process of you know what chemicals get what warnings and it's going to come to it what about the food that are grown that is grown using glyphosate that contains glyphosate residues at the time that it's consumed that i don't think proposi

the world health organization, the forensic medicine institution, the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons? >> translator: the answer is very simple, and you know it. yes, sarin could have been used by someone, but not by assad. it could have been used by someone in order to accuse president assad. so we have to understand who is to blame. otherwise, if there is no true investigation, it's only going to play into the hds ohose who orchestrated it. i would like to ask you a question. why didn't everyone go right away to inspect the air base, to the spot where chemical weapons allegedly had been used? why didn't they want to go to see the aircraft that had been allegedly used to perform this strike? the answer is very simple. because they were afraid that everything, the truth would come to light. what you are telling me doesn't convince me of anything. it just persuades me that we better not engage of tug-of-war there or speculate. we've got to pull our efforts together to counter real threats. and we know what these real threats are. the u.s. is very far. yes, there was

can you describe your mission to the world health organization in a way that resonates with somebody who has no idea what an infantry man does? how do you describe it then? do you know those organizations do? you understand what role they play in the area you are in? you understand what their objectives are? that means you will have to build teams within your organization and outside your organization. you have got to figure out how to inform them as to what you are doing and how you will influence people. this is a very tough way to run an organization, especially in the united states army. 1.2 million people in 160 countries of the world. you can only attempt this if you have a very well-trained, well disciplined, and well led organization. if you don't have a well-trained, well lead and well disciplined organization, you don't empower that. what you do with the no trade, for the lead, ill disciplined organization? you control it. i spent a lot of time traveling around the world thinking about other armies. the less professional the army, the weather focus on control. the more prof

yemen is now facing the worst cholera outbreak in the world according to the world health organizationy. there have been more than 200,000 suspected cases and 1,300 deaths. the outbreak has spread because of the collapse of the health system during the civil war the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby, has urged theresa may to set up a cross—party commission to advise her on brexit. writing in the mail on sunday, he says such a commission could hold the ring for the differences to be fought out and draw much of the poison from the debate. the government says imports such as coffee, clothing and cocoa products should not see any notable price rise after brexit. a8 of the world's poorest countries will continue to have duty free access to the uk. our business correspondent joe lynam has more. some of our most popular ingredients and products, like cocoa or bananas, are grown in some of the world's poorest countries. do help almost 50 of them expand their economies, the eu already allows them to export their goods tariff free into europe. now the government has confirmed that this will

the world health organization and the un children's agency, unicef, say the country is facing the worstworst cholera outbreak in the world. health officials are worried a lack of access to medical care will mean more people will be affected, and more will die. this is double the caseload of two and a half weeks ago. we fear that the number will reach 300,000 just in the next few weeks. the rate we are seeing is unprecedented. we are recording something like 5,000 cases per day. the scale of the outbreak is devastating. 0verall, more than 200,000 people are thought to have become infected. so far, 1,300 have died, of those, a quarter of children. more than two years of conflict in yemen have devastated the country. fighting between rebels and government forces have killed more than 8,000 people. as is usually the case, civilians are paying the highest price. the situation is really a disaster at the moment. it is basically the result of continued conflict. almost 7 million people in yemen are on the brink of famine, making them more susceptible to diseases like cholera. unicef and the wo
