Organization deems safe this means thousands of schools shut down Flights Canceled and cars banned from the roads on certain days to mitigate the already growing danger so what happened in india while an annual tradition of burning off with those in india called crop stubble combined with the excessive use of fireworks during religious ceremonies in recent weeks and you have just the right amount to tip an already pollution filled area over the edge to delegate new delhi resident to you sean explains the other reasons for the crisis. Was broken borders and the government should restrict some of the factories as well as traffic which both limit pollution and we have to plant more trees and people should use more Public Transportation better the situation. And on the other side of the planet and a place where the politicians are supposed to be eco conscious in the water crisp and clear canada is now facing a flint of its own over 120 journalists editors students and teachers across canada came together for a Research Project called tainted water they found that in montreals got no saskatoon regina moose jaw and Prince Rupert had lead levels comparable or higher than those in flint michigan during its 2015 led crisis as the sky is burned with our waste in our waters team with toxins its time to stop doing what were doing and start watching the ox. Its not. As if. Like you that i got. The. Welcome back everybody laughing nod and capitalist and joining me now from canada on the latest on the lead crisis are to makkah correspondent alex mann time alex thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me so tell us a little more about this is this is a pretty disturbing study. It is a lot the researchers dug into thousands of previously undisclosed documents meaning that these documents have been around they tested hundreds of houses from coast to coast in canada they found out that hundreds of thousands of people in this country are Drinking Water contaminated with lead its coming into their homes and the lead levels are higher or the same as flint michigan when you say flint michigan you think disaster so this is whats happening in cities from coast to coast in canada including places like montreal that you just mentioned never mind smaller towns and a place called fill which is just outside of toronto so these are highly Populated Areas as well im going to some numbers here for you so dont mind me reading for one moment so the fact is out of 12000. 00 task since 201433 percent exceeded National Safety guidelines of 5 parts per 1000000000 now to put this into perspective when we look at the United States the National System there anything under 15 parts per 1000000000 is accepted here its 5 parts per 1000000000 so its 33 percent at an acceptable level but if we use the American Standard it drops down to 18 percent which is still you know most a quarter of all houses lets. One 5th of all houses that were tested in canada are contaminated with lead coming through the taps i mean any water that youre showering in any water youre boiling any water youre drinking straight from the trap top has lead in it and we know that in many of these cases a place tested or actually places where theres children like daycares and Public Schools and that means that these kids who are the most subscribed to lead poisoning are also being fed this stuff and nothing has been done about it because research when we have Research Like this come out the government here 1st of all the government doesnt test like in the states and 2nd of all these researchers that do this other than what we just found out today they dont even have to tell the residents of these homes that this is happening so thats what were dealing with its absolutely massive and tabitha believe it or not if you look at the media cycle that Canadian Media has already forgot about it it just came out this morning and its almost nowhere to be seen anymore so not only is the media kind of ignoring it which seems much like what happened here but is the canadian government going to do or doing anything to upgrade the system is anything i mean here while it may be slow we do have Government Programs to swap is there anything new on the horizon. The federal government in this country doesnt even have a program of good recommendations so they gave us a recommendation for this 5 parts per 1000000000 used to be 10 parts per 1000000000 what how much lead is allowed the government actually says it here to this just a couple of weeks ago they were saying yeah were onboard with this and theyre saying but dont worry our water come back here its clean its a ok go ahead and drink it now this comes out so who do you trust who can you trust and it is a. Problem here is a big problem is infrastructure so a lot of these pipes are very old you dont know which in the city that you live in if your pipes are old or new and a lot of these governments till they dig it up they dont know whats going on underground so its one of these issues that really needs to be addressed at the highest of levels and its not being addressed weve had the same issue with our native populations where they dont have Drinking Waters in parts of northern ontario in other parts of the north in this country and that was an address that youre dealing with hundreds of thousands of more people with the same kind of issue the other lead but still is Drinking Water a fundamental right or at least it should be for all human beings and thats what were seeing in a country like canada that boast of having some of the cleanest water on the face of the planet i mean if you cant if you cant trust the clean water canada im not sure what we can trust will be keeping an eye on this and the sort of new world in which for learning whats really in all this 5 or 56 that we are getting our water from thank you so much america correspondent alex mileage of it of it. All nasa hopes they never have to use the system that was designed on its new c. S. T. 100 starliner a recent test of its pad abort could be a big win for its creator boeing boeing the company we want to be overseeing the safety protocols of Something Like say space travel well joining us now for the latest on this and more are to americas parent from that so what you believe it that its been more than a year. Actual astronaut has taken off from the United States and gone up to the space station i when i learned that fact today and i was actually really surprised but theres a reason behind it but 1st lets take a look at this little test launch that happened it was actually pretty cool sight to see take a look. And there you have it its the safety test launch of that c. S. T. 100. 00 starliner there was no crew on board but that 16. 00 foot spacecraft that actually can hold up to 7 astronauts crammed in like little sardines in there but this happened out in white sands new mexico it blasted off around 7 15 am local time there 2 minutes later it was gliding back down from those 2 parachutes that you see a boeing said today in a statement that todays paddleboard test it was a milestone achievement for our c s t 100. 00 starliner team for nasa and for the american human spaceflight so a big a big win for that today and thats good you know where it is sort of a win for boeing but are they is this going to be enough to sort of make all of the other other stuff go away well you know its interesting because nasa actually did they they chose a boeing in space x. Back in 2014 to transport these astronauts to and from the International Space station now the reason that we havent been seeing american astronauts take off from the United States is because weve actually been paying russia like we like it like it the way youd buy a plane ticket weve been paying russia for our astronauts plane tickets up to the International Space station both companies they are years behind schedule on this and its because nasa pretty much gave for me gave boeing a 4200000000. 00 contract promising at least 2 missions here but boeing says that most of that 4200000000. 00 is going to go to help the spacecraft scheduled to launch in 2020 and boeings job ironically is going to make sure that nasa has all of these Certification Requirements for performance and safety. Do you want to check that again every its actually boeing yeah oh my god it actually done really does actually going to do that and we know that boeing they have been facing big big problems 346 people were killed on 2 boeing crashes one in october 28th one in march of this year just last week we had the former chairman of the board jenna small and where he testified before the Senate Commerce committee whether or not boeing was trying to get the 737 max in the air before the frances air boss and kind of bypassing safety regulations now that the culture of boeing was going to be heavily looked at he was grilled by the Senate Committee who was still not happy with him but he says that stuff like this is not going to happen again so well see what happens with that but as far as the space x. And boeing its kind of theyre going to make sure that everything is a ok however they will. However. To that from today. And what so wait so how whats whats the next step so how did the test actually go what does this mean where would you believe it if i told you that maybe there was a little bit of a glitch in the tests today i had never heard such a thing from boeing but actually so this test it was actually supposed to again like as you had mentioned its a pad abort test so what it is is its if its any case with the rocket if it were to explode or what have you those 7 astronauts that are in there thats able to explode off of the the rocket in case anything you know were to go wrong and 6 detach from a malfunctioning rocket 3 parachutes were supposed to deploy. 2 out of the 3 deployed today now boeing has said that you know it was it was a deployment anonymously its not a parachute failure and that you only still need 2 out of the 3 in order to safely land however if it calls for 3 id hope youd want for 3 but for one of the actual astronauts it was actually out there today watching this test which i dont know at this point id rather walk to space but he said today is that it was really amazing because we hope we never have to use this system but in case we ever have any trouble aboard the beautiful atlas 5 on the launch pad we know that after todays test that will be able to get off safely and come back and try again a different day now the next step and this is theyre going to actually have another flight test scheduled for december 17th and from there theyre hoping again to have this crew up and running by 2020 also at the same time theyre trying to get the 737. 00 max out up kind of actually to around the same time early 2020 but they have a lot of regulations to go and actually each country is going to be able to kind of check and balance boeing and decide themselves well the 737 max will go into the air so lets say france is like no were not ready but the United States is like yeah well go with that up. Thats not going to look at the behavior when they get on i want to make those plane reservations or you can always tell what kind of plane youre on make sure you dont get out of planes or on maybe maybe going into space yeah but im going to space to monitor yeah and check like maybe like your maps to see if its easier to just walk there because i walk to them and you know i think thats probably a better idea at this point well thank you so much for your time how in the middle of us base nasa boeing safety of a lot of top priority i can tell if you look there are a lot of our directors parents out there thanks for joining us as we go to break out waters that forget to let us know what you think of the topics covered on our social media and be sure to check out watching the hot pod cast now available on thought if i apple music in every way the podcast coming up ill speak with veterans activists worry riley topping on a new pentagon report that shows the real danger to our soldiers isnt on the battlefield but 1st 27 year old chinese sas believe me our fine art and beauty where most of us get our daily dose nutrition. Are some of the work which takes over 10 tools and hours to clean one. Thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the countrys military decision little sheltered lives every time to complete. The day that i was right being struck you know you know what they kill me and i see how destroyed my life and he screamed at me and. My own arm and he write me to this birthing you know if you take into account that women dont report because of the extreme retaliation and its probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually. And in the u. S. Military rape is a very very traumatizing thing tat happen but ive never seen trauma like ive seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished to be a friend behind and almost 10 year career which i was very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even going to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether thats men or women. Nobody wants to look at the wildfires and say the obvious number one the taxes are being misused and theyre not being adequately distributed to where they are needed on the infrastructure side because theres a government failure number 2 Climate Change regardless of whether you believe its happening or not the damage that is going to be applied to your pocketbook that you will pay for Climate Change whether you believe it or not you know its still the price is still there. Today and there are good tennis and bad that its the bad news in yemen the United States deems to be a threat to the looked at it is those war in syria the cia and the u. S. Military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. Where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up right with military windows funding an army just was theres no phones and the more because theres always a small people or a really good this. Prophet. Approximately every 40 seconds someone in the world takes their own lives however if youre a member of the United States armed forces youre part of one small subset of world citizens dying by suicide at a shockingly faster rate than their civilian counterparts the pentagon reports that suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States and over the past 30 years americas suicide rate has increased by 30 percent and that the number of veterans and Service Members lost to suicide in just one year now surpasses the number of lives lost during the operations in afghanistan and iraq today that means that suicide is more likely to kill a Service Member than combat so why with more treatments available for p. T. S. D. Depression depression and anxiety available than ever ever before in any other time in history or are fighting women and men left to suffer joining me now to discuss this and more is better and advocate for a variety of topics thanks for joining me today. Thanks for having me always a pleasure so 1st i wanted to start is there a specific event that experts and advocates have seen as a reason for this this general upticks and suicides was it 911. 00 was a something after the. So theres no one single thing that we can point to but studies so far has shown that theres a couple of Different Things one of which is that we have an all volunteer military now so people are oftentimes being deployed multiple times in past conflicts you would deploy and then you would separate from service and you would rejoin your community now a lot of our Service Members are called up to active duty from reserve and guard units there are some Service Members who are deployed 678 times so youre seeing a compound effect of stress from some members who have deployed but on the flip side of that we are still seeing suicide from Service Members who have not deployed at all so there are other issues besides just combat p. T. S. Things like that that we talk about and so there are depression you mentioned a lack of access to services that some Service Members may need in the military is really well known for having just. You know tough maci is most style culture so even people who are just training at home havent deployed are oftentimes reluctant to speak out and ask for help and then the 3rd factor that this report talked about is military veterans have a much higher ownership of firearms so even though not all suicides are as a result of use of a firearm because veterans in particular tend to be firearm owners in large numbers that often means that they are more likely to die in a Suicide Attempt than perhaps someone who may try overdose or Something Like that. Now the New York Times reported this week that the suicide rate for active duty troops across all Service Branches rose by over a 3rd in 5 years to 24. 00 per 100000. 00 active duty members those most at risk they have said are enlisted men under 30 over the decades weve seen an increase in suicides especially in teens and young adults when youre looking at these numbers of younger and younger Service Members could it be an indicator that were maybe consider requiring and less meant to be a little older or those going into combat situations be a little ol
