You have this great product that you are ready to share with the country. Im a part of a team that is moving in the same direction. Content while setting new standards in journalism. A new voice of journalism in the u. S. , Al Jazeera America. America. We tell the human store ri from around the block, across the country. If joe cant find work, his family will go from living in a hotel to living in their car. Connected, inspired, bold. Technology is coming on in the next few decades may make Nuclear Waste obsolete. We should all hope thats the case. But right now the International AtomicEnergy Agency expects the United States alone to produce at least 32,000 tons added to the pile. My next guess has made a documentary about the Nuclear Waste time will will air on al jazeera. If the problem cant be solved by new technology. Its directed by Michael Madsen who we will see in this clip explaining what its all about. I am now in this place where you should never come. We call it onkelo. Onkelo means hiding place. In my time, it is still unfinished, though work began in the 20th century, when i was just a child. Work would be completed in the 22nd century. Along after my death. Michael madsen joins us now from San Francisco. Michael quite dramatic. Why did you make this film . What was it that inspired you to take on this subject . It was very simple that the onkelo facility as its called which means hiding place in finnish is building something in a foolproof manner that has to last without any human interference for 100,000 years. What does 100,000 years mean and what does this facility tell me about the time and civilization that im living in, this may be the most consciously postcivillization building on earth. It could outlive human beings, by putting these Nuclear Waste that would remain unsafe for such a long time that what would lap over those 100,000 years that it would take for the Nuclear Waste to become safe . The interesting thing about the construction principle behind this facility which is a template for any other such facility that might follow in the world but this is the only one and its still under construction, the Main Construction principle is that it should be able to operate in a kind of stealth mode. The reason for that is that the engineers, they dont expect human civilization to last for that long in a continuous planner. So the expectation is some kind of collapse in human civilization. And the reason why they call it the hiding place is that the concern is that its probably the safest thing to try to forget about this site. Because then, even though we may try to warn future generations about the toxicity of this place, then we will not get any people going down there by curiosity. So the main thread is really for this facility is perhaps not a technological or other kind s of failure. Its more likely human curiosity and that is human nature. Who is building this and where is the waste going to come from . This is in finland and only for the finnish waste. Only that much of humanity for that much waste . It is a massive facility and it is something that most nations who have Nuclear Power are only about to enter. And only such nations, a gee like, japan for example, they are in an earthquake zone so that is not possible. When i was asking the finnish engineers are there any countries who cant perform Something Like this . They say in japan there is no way for them to put this anywhere. And the u. S. Is making some attempts, well talk about that in a minute. But the question then arises if you dont come up with these you know underground facilities that somehow you can put all this Nuclear Waste in you are then storing Nuclear Waste in the case of the United States all over the country in much less safe situations. Isnt that more worrisome . I think that its possible to say that underground is most likely better than above ground. Thats i think thats something that you can say. But it is still, of course, very uncertain, what future human actions may be. And thats thats the dilemma about Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Waste as a result of that. That were talking about time spans that i would say goes beyond human comprehension. 100,000 years is a time limit that has to remain safe, and finland is actually a million years in the United States, but its 100,000 years that we as homosaip homosapiens left africa for the first time. To be able to use the Nuclear Waste do you believe that is the situation . The film addresses that, no such technology exists, since the 50s and 60s, the belief in technological progress, if you do possess Nuclear Waste thats whether you can also create bombs and thats why there is concern about what may be going on in a country like iran for example. We have a question that just came from a viewer. Hermella agazi our producer. How does Nuclear Waste compare to goe fossil fuel . I cant say, but with Nuclear Waste you pass on a problem to future generations that they didnt ask for. There is a principle that calls polluter pays and that we are morally obliged to lanl the things that we create and benefit from in our age. The future generations circulate not suffer from that. But the problem of course is when i comes to Nuclear Waste that in this time span how can we actually act morally responsible . The finnish facility and therefore theres an understanding such an attempt to act responsibly. You can also say of course with fossil fuels we may be creating a Climate Change in a differently level that are also incomprehensible, the consequences are beyond our comprehension. Nuclear power would help on that front. Of course the United States is long dwe debating a big deposity in nevada at yucca mountain. That continues to be a political fight. Michael, your documentary into eternity, airs on al jazeera. We appreciate your coming. Youre welcome. Coming up, bob filner steps down but goes on the a tack. Why do men in political situations get in this trouble . There is an area where you theres more to Financial News than the ups and downs of the dow. For instance, can fracking change what you pay for water each month . Have you thought about how Climate Change can affect your grocery bill . Can Rare Minerals in china affect your cell phone bill . Or how a hospital in texas could drive up your healthcare premium . Ill make the connections from the news to your money real.

I am now in this place where you should never come. How do you contain 100,000 years of Nuclear Danger . It is an invisible danger. Al Jazeera America presents into eternity. Premieres sunday night 9 eastern. My name is ranjani chakraborty, im from houston, texas, and im an associate producer for america tonight. I grew up in a very large, loud indian family. They very much taught me how to have a voice, and from a very young age i loved writing, and i love being able to tell other people stories. The way to do Good Journalism is to really do your research, to know your story, to get the facts right, and to get to know the people involved in your story. America tonight and Al Jazeera America, its a Perfect Place for that to happen. For generations the conventional wisdom is that babies should be should be sir couple sized. Expwhro ring me now from france is lloyd scoastled an activist who oppose s circumcise. Circumcision. You tried to get it on a ballot in San Francisco. You want circumcision banned in the bay area, why is this such an issue for you . Baby boys die from routine circumcision. There are a whole lot of bad effects, not a lot of good effects, the only thing circumcision does is interferes with sex, it interferes with cleanliness. We did get on the ballot, we collected 70 more of the signatures that we needed to get on the ballot in the sa city and county of San Francisco. We got on the ballot to limit circumcision to what was medically necessary. A number of our opponents had us pulled off the ballot on a technicality so citizens of San Francisco would not get to vote. Well approach that but it is not that simple. People with religious concerns, muslims, jews, something thats traditional and they would want to do. Ive been when you talk about human rights and the suffering, deaths are very rare, infections are rea rare and ive seen kids circumcised and they were fine later on. Is it something request significant . Its removal of 15 inches of erogenous area of the male. The foreskin is fused to the head of the a penis, one way flow of urine which is sterile, its very important, most parents in the west anyway do have intact children. It is very, very important never ever to retract, it is there for a reason, you shouldnt use soap and water, just as you wouldnt use soap and water on your mouth or eyes or in a females vagina. Doctor, there is being reduces infections in sex partners and studies in africa have shown where there is a lot of hiv that, a lot of men are not circumcised there and adds to the risk of aids transapplication in africa. You believe circumcision is a million benefit . We know theres no cure for hiv. We dont have a vaccination for hiv. This is something that could help benefit. Im not saying that Everyone Needs it. It needs to be a familys right and decision to do this. Even though i medically believe this im not trying to get a political referendum to make everybody get circumcised. What about the American Academy of pediatrics, they have been kind of wishywashy about this. They put out a statement a while back that they didnt recommend it and it was up to you. Then the most recent statement said the benefits far outweighed the risks and it should be covered by insurance. You want the people to understand the benefits. There is possible benefit of possible retraction, even penis cancer, if you can reduce it, these are benefits, people need to understand the risks and the benefits and have the intelligent discussion with mayor physician. Lloyd dont the medical benefits outweigh the risks . Absolutely not. Circumcision has been a search in the late 1880s whether the Sanjay Guptas of the generation, that masturbation takes care of a whole hose of ills that we need to take care of. Its important that not one medical association in the world recommends infant circumcision. Many recommend strongly against it. Particularly the Royal Dutch Medical Association recommends against it. You recently referenced the aap. It really depends on whos sitting on the committee. In 1996, there committee would was in charge of this Circumcision Task force stated this is cosmetic procedure. We shouldnt promote it. Its not necessary. We have a very different committee, in the aap who has drawn International Criticism from other medical associations doctor what do you say to that . I mean he has a point. The American Academy of pediatrics has waffled on this. They have waffled on this because they dont want to say you can get it or you shouldnt get it. But why it should be a personal right, people argue about vaccinations, the seasonal flu vaccine, 40 Million People get it every year. You cant force it, you cant mandate it. There are benefits. Why do europeans, lloyd mentioned the dutch doctors, europeans, asians dont go for it. The rates are minimal only about 10 in urine. Circumcision started as a religious belief. We found cultural needs for it. There may not be necessity in this area so. Lloyd you tried in santa monica and los angeles. In st. Louis a baby is about 77 more likely to be circumcised. Why is it happening all over the country . It really is happening all ore ever the country, we see parents educating themselves, the fallacious argument of the son looking like the father. People are looking into really what are the benefits, like i said, no International Medical organization recommends it. If you look at stanford medical schools web page and they have a seven page list of bad side effects from circumcision, really, would you put your child under the duress and pain and mutilation of undergoing a circumcision, with a possibility of them dying, having infections . These are routine complications, i was just reading today, there are a there are about 300 pediatric urologists in the United States, most of them take all of their time repairing mild to moderate circumcisions, gone wrong. Degloving removing all of the skin on the penis, this is not considered a bad effect by many people. The foreskin is there for a reason. There is no dotted line on a penis for a doctor to cut. If someone is 18 years old and wants to have a circumcision for whatever reason and they know the risks and the benefits much tougher at that age. Not really. Its actually much tougher on a baby because you cannot give general anesthesia to a baby. Babies undergoing circumcision im glad the one you witnessed seemed mild. But babies have vomited, burst lungs, have gone on to heart palpitations i want to go on to social media. Im like to bring in hermella for that. Thanks antonio, dr. Radcliff, people on social media are talking about the aesthetics of being circumcised or uncircumcised. Lacey green from San Francisco uploaded this Youtube Video in response to negative comments about foreskin. It was uploaded nine days ago, there are already 175,000 views and its appropriately titled i love foreskin. Lets take a look. The foreskin serves as a little sheath, it keeps all the bad stuff out and it also keeps all the good stuff in. The foreskin has mucous membranes which store natural lubrication also protecting those erotic nerve endings so they arent overexposed and becoming desensitized by being all over the place. Sees the foreskin in a cosmetic altered light. I dont think theres any cost cosmetically about the natural peni srves doctor, what impact can it have on ones sex life . Well, i think its like some people like blonds, some people like bruin brunettes. I dont think it makes any difference in that matter. Thank you both for joining us tonight. Having this interesting discussion. Im sure it will continue to be debated. Up next, we hear complaints that teachers should be getting paid more all the time. How about 4 million . Theres more to Financial News than the ups and downs of the dow. For instance, can fracking change what you pay for water each month . Have you thought about how Climate Change can affect your grocery bill . Can Rare Minerals in china affect your cell phone bill . Or how a hospital in texas could drive up your healthcare premium . Ill make the connections from the news to your money real. What happens when social media uncovers unheard, fascinating American Dream is that anybody whos willing to work hard is able to get that good education, and achieve their dreams. That was president obama speaking this morning as part of his two day bus tour to promote his plan to lower the cost of college education. But consider this the cost of college is certainly not the only part of our Education System that needs reform. Once upon a time, america arguably had the best public Education System in the world. Thats not the case. Well place first place finland and last place south korea. So how do we r
