One message to you as president has sent was almost a message to not just the golf leaders, but to russia and china that sir, look at, were not going anywhere. In fact, thats exactly what he said is kind of a signal look if youre trying to encroach, we are not going anywhere. Were going to stay right where we are. But also think about it a, its also a signal and may be a sign of the winning influence of the United States as well. I mean, there was a time when the United States didnt have to say that it was just known. And so that is also as signal that say in the United States, perhaps as a little bit concerned, in fact, so much. So that really was the purpose of this trip shall anchors.

A Drug Enforcement agent. He was released in 2013, but he returned to drug trafficking. Those are the headlines. News continues here and on his ear of the people in power, the curse of uranium. News, news, news. News. The news. Every year this year in west africa produces thousands of tons of uranium mostly for use in French Nuclear power stations. But critics extracting the radioactive mineral poses health risks to the population that the mines and around purification and Storage Facilities in europe. So a team of french filmmakers set out to investigate possible contamination levels with disturbing results. This is the 1st of 2 report. Ah ah, not always in the u. S. I dont see, dont be else. I no longer live with phone. I normally take the, i dont want to boss to wait on that for support for 0 dollars because of all possible they on the 2nd i just thought that was all possible presents for the ship. I dont teach. This is now born in se in front. Its a shock to find such levels of radioactivity here, but were close to the largest uranium combustion plant in europe. Weve got stalling me fucked up in buffalo. I supplied with uranium from africa. The side produces tens of thousands of tons of waste, just 3 kilometers. Locals that understandably worried about, believe it, that is a status or what a direction of iran the company that owns and runs this facility, reject this really quickly elsewhere this reject it or can impact on we all non federal told us that we set out to established in to look for any evidence of one timing nation. Over the course of a year, we took dozens of samples and sent them for independence. Amanda we followed the uranium trail all the way back to me. J. A country that has applied with power all over there in the town of valley, we found houses filled with Radioactive Material on the buddhism, also. And even some school, some navy radiation levels where the child moved to policy on a broker called on to bomb you women of our findings raised disturbing questions about the wisdom of using this toxic substance. The investigation even generated a political debate. Diesel and hes only predict image victory. Were told you shit to handle the video as you sit in exit darell unacceptable or not. People here may have to get used to it. President Emmanuel Michel c can re election in 2022 has put Nuclear Power at the heart of francis fight against global warming. So good news of that. Usually bhaskar syllable, normal docusys, get a full blown, a clinician with oscar, the conditional helmet. Not looney fil a honey sauce. Do nuclear hosp to meet a target of Carbon Neutrality by 2050 . Hes the mouth of the country. Could build as many as 14 new Nuclear Reactors in decades to come. Just switch. Who sees a bill due to a costly ignore soon visit to the solar construction . Do it, the builder editor. Then what more reactors will also mean extracting and storing more uranium and more risk from a Radioactive Material that remains deadly. For thousands of years. Lou, our investigation begins in the northern deserts of the j. This is where the uranium trails stops. In a country with some of the Worlds Largest reserves. The area is closed up to most foreigners alkie that and the slamming state regularly carry out attacks in this region. To avoid being taken hostage, we are escorted by a unit from the National Guard tan well armed soldiers. We cover ourselves to remain as unobtrusive as possible. After 3 days of travel, we finally arrived in alit the regional capital. The town was built in the 1970s thanks to its uranium deposits. Its close to 2 huge mines, one now being decommissioned, run by subsidiaries of the french multinational, or honor, which every one here still calls by its old name ariba. The inhabitants of alit only seed the leftovers of though uranium. These huge yellow heat mining, rescue exposed to the open air. The dust is often carried by the wind right into the town and sometimes into its houses. Like our most defact, ill hutchins home. Hes lived here with his family for 50 years, to go from amazon. For someone to go visit him of tickets or shall they . Yes, maam. Louise, incident liver a when you move im im done with a bit of work on the physical verbal problem. The new born body on the front in front of a vehicle to the self injured figure and Income Verification for good one to renew the source of. Ill must defer. Ill hutchins work for 37 years as a technician into olive mine. He then created an association to protect the environment and the local population, worried about seeing his colleagues die prematurely without explanation. He wants to show us the mountains of ways produced by his form of factory, which he says has polluted the area for years. But our military escort insists, we turn back beyond this point, wed be in orlando or our river territory, provided people or provided legal own fosgate. This is a woody lou terry. From beauty method is a better method is me, are you going to lose a cell on paper bullshit . Despite numerous request, ariba refused to let us onto the site. We cant help but wonder why over the years must duffer al hutch and has tried to investigate the environmental and Health Impacts of uranium mining. But local scientific sampling is impossible. Theyre voting for who didnt exist to pay and lab what i thought when jennifer, uneasy near and young planning used to pop on november the bishop de bishop, didnt any young girl num, wendy . Well enough i do mother. Yet when the police are warfare on our number, yet handle them on the property for ya. Carver keyless it dont give. Got literally the time. If you please. Yeah. It is us double equal g crew. Key kid yell under a marla despite his son lafond de la floor. If he the local table that we will see to see one thank you. I knew you can change the input from let it be activity during, during the v credit will go media that need dont fit to seller. So could a river orona really be responsible for what this active is cause an ecological disaster. We arrange a discrete meeting with a company employee. He gives us this usb key, but doesnt want to answer any questions for fear of reprisals. In this classified footage, the Mining OperationsEnvironmental Impact is clear to see why the grid uses explosives to access the uranium. Amid the dust, the miners dig up radioactive soil to obtain this paste called yellow cake. A uranium concentrates are of our oran, produces 2 and a half 1000 tons per year in the year. The operation requires heavy chemical processes and generates large amounts of residue. So theres nothing natural about the hills beyond the town. Just 35000000 tons of toxic waste stored in the open air. To help determine the possible effects on the population, we brought special equipment, a device to detect a measures radio activity. We also bruno sharia to assist us with his a Nuclear Physics engineer at crew, wrapped and independent french and geo. The analyzes radioactivity in the environment of you, my god, to school for your implanted ruby, she was a dizzy which was up under fair switching gears julia just yonder. My next time i believe pasco, dolly room blemishes or if was she looks demis all the but you all had your out. It says i dont always answer very quickly. Our counter goes into overdrive vegetables. Glasses and other are. Mr. Allison accompanies us. All the radiation comes from the school, good news is had so many said so comical bus one thats around 30 times more than the natural ambient radioactivity measurements in counts per 2nd are given as read out of the radiation in real time. The walls of the school seem to be heavily exposed to radiation. Professor sharon advises us on the next step. So for us to quickly and in my do you so you saw the origin to set up for law. If im wrong, john sure jovially shawna manuel. Because she starts with a deaf any one here for more than an hour and a half is potentially exposed to the maximum recommended radioactive does an entire year. But as we gather reading, we have to be wary of more than radioactivity. Weve been advised not to linger in one place for more than 10 minutes at a time to avoid being spotted by informants for terrorist groups. Then at a street market, we find scrap metal that has come directly from the uranium mine. Such quantities are some of the either of a chic roxanne and i, the flesh on flesh. Theyve got a, the radiation levels seem to be so high that we have to use a different tool, a geiger counter. This measures radioactivity levels per hour instead of per 2nd loan. Another good one is of course your policy. A talk with the radioactivity here is twice as high as in general with come some new. That is because a shockey. This is vicky my members with but since im a shop, a song that the telemachus asked with what i would either call these radioactive scrap metal rod and now being used as beams in houses in the city. You can see them sticking out of ruth. Dust is no longer the only danger. Pollution is also in houses. Like at mister dallas house, where radio activity is 27 times higher than normal b, b, or in the a by a family home. Here it is 13 times higher. Its worse still in this hostile with teenagers. Let me explain to her her radio activity level here are 52 times higher than normal grandkids and he will do hydrogen cuz it is you dont use it. We also measure the level of brayden, one of the most toxic gases in the world, which emanates from uranium it, as a result, we reform all these results far exceed the w h os health recommendation. Outraged by our finding, ill must differ. Ill hutchins wants to act quickly. He and his association bring together people from olive who like him, have worked in the uranium mine as the homewood. Hello laura cronan. I as soon as you know, im going to cover her, but she knew she loved me, then photos you must know who to keep going to go and im with and it is because one of those, some of them are going to move dounia for sunday. Sheep ami, we melody was all day with some i am it please. Im others say they suffer from chronic diseases. He is, tim kasey, are caused by bugs at mother is officially, however, no inhabitant of olive or local employee of erin, no one has ever been found to be sick because of radioactivity. Only one who has been is french employee who spends 7 years in this town. While most of these men have been living and working here over 40 years left. Uh huh. She knew one quick comment. Did you notice . Ive read it. Will medicine been in any of my thought is and it is you are young or false versa. We start with al mustafah. Allah chin, both the bomb boom with we get the age, address, and profession ponders on it and how long they have lived in ali. We then take the hair samples from the families living in the contaminated houses, nursing home in total, 16 samples, we send them to from, along with other samples weve taken in the city. While we wait for the results, we turn to the local authority. We want to know, how can they accept such high levels of radioactive pollution . Could it be because many of them are themselves former a river oran employee, like the prefect of allot. And i found my elder works with the french multi tional for 34 years. Its going to its chrissy on the panel. I dont wanna have a tom get home for i vouch year please possible advantage jack k r eskoville car at honda benoit a washer manager with the other guy, but were not gonna go out. Ginger thought of, i dont know if you need, once i get the did pretty much. I thought there was a button. Jessica, whoa, whoa, or, or best. Thank you to plain this. Im back to the police from dummy violet. At the come to the did not go great, let me explain that. So the telecom i took this as well for and then up the sierra on our to the little corn. So the also to policy that is, suffer camembert, nebraska linux, one of them got no phone number back up on like i like to explore the red room mixed up on the left, the new deal or not, or whatever that was the comes up, the prefects, honesty is a little unnerving. The inhabitants of alice are living amid radioactive residue and contaminated home with disastrous consequences for their health. Its time to head back to the capitol, me on this is where well finally meet the local managers of our, the orange, which exploit needs. Yes, uranium, its easy to find them that offices are just opposite the ministry of mining. After some negotiation, one of the Senior Executives agrees to an interview with the most recently has been working for the group for over 30 years. He tells us he is responsible for setting up a system for identifying and treating the most radioactive areas of on it. A bunch is june the she shorter than me. Absolutely. Well i bet you mama will every point decrease their correspond to id. I do normal and thats for now. None of them are dish at the will do peak, no cost at all because it says on a plate. And ive already decided from marcella on a a, a group of with a so i wanted to go to see sign up on him. Isnt what its really mushy. Its good. Vulcan is. It has most of it. He did us at the high juno who report to re pass that case. Sure would be. Yeah, i can get that. I like it if you need put pretty like is sure enough. My mom like you to go, was it and give it a lot. I was like you to put on a she is on your a less 50 for a key to lucille and still she just show me 62. Shes your mentor. Okay. She kissed key for around 40 domains. You porpoise she. Then you should have clues, escrowsll, like a brute issue to learning to program. A super super global elise sat up. What did a shocker sit back and tell a port to port or near the chemical ben . Dont do my duty will do city lots of chill. C, i d, v. Swell mcglenn, well just put it in with then present our results of the radioactivity measurements from the houses the hostile, the school and even from the street. Yeah. If i meet blue ridge is pushed, if me oh, let me as you am plus illness, one in one does your short a list more but how reassuring can such words really b to those who live with radioactive pollution on a daily basis back in alit, ill must i thought ill hutch has lost patience with this kind of official response. He wants to mobilize well beyond the borders of managing missouri. He has been in contact for several months with for breeze to door, an accident from the bone fund. Its is in this town that orando received and processed the uranium from the yellow clinic leanne problem. Look on some problem on the, on the green folk lamond city. Very bullard got, i got to deal at the office a call, you know, a little finish with such a quick feel so little bit confused with what you wish. In part 2 of this investigation, we followed a trail back to newborn in france. Whether you rein him from the jet is processed and stored and theyre too concerned about radioactive pollution. A growing, ah ah, with some of the Worlds Largest reserves needs yeah. Provides much at the uranium that fuels year. Its Nuclear Power. But at what cost . People in power follows the uranium trail from these add to the source of the mediterranean and investigates the devastating effects on the planets and all those who inhabit the industries power. The cost of uranium pot tail on al jazeera, ah and a. We understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. So no matter what movie winter been used and kind of caused that matter to you, the rip hotel is the o tell that ive ever stated in the biggest box you have ever seen had explode, order taken out the hotel. This was germany. We loved it when it was built and really loved it, even when it was bombed. A major target of the conflict in Northern Ireland in the late 20th century belfast europa war hotels on al jazeera under cover of reporting a workplace. With nuno at one minute and do, doug could finance to the whole election revealing corruption, boy see the area for exposing criminals. He was all that a dedicated unit for investigative journalism. How much will we have to pay for the girls . It is more than they slavery exclusive stories, explosive results, al jazeera investigations. Ah
