So we speak our native language. We live in and understand our communities. Yet when the state makes decisions about programs or budgets, what we have proposed is not reflected in the plans. As mexicos president ial elections ra smear. Both leading candidates, a promise to reverse decades of neglect, of indigenous groups. But many say they have heard such promises before. Indigenous communities have long been marginalized by successive mexican governments. But active as and Community Leaders have little hope thats going to change with a new government, even if it is led by a woman. Instead they say whats needed is greater indigenous representation across political and social life. And the country a role that beekeeper lady patch has been fulfilling for over a decade when genetically modified crops threatened her livelihood and that of thousands of my an beekeepers, pittsville the coalition that eventually outlined the planting of gm sleeping in the area. She has since become a leading defender of her and extra land and customs federal update. Then were going to respond to it as women. We shouldnt adhere to this political systems that ive always been controlled by men and the aim to strengthen the system. But as always, dominated and marginalized and has never understood him. But theres other ways of like that in the country that they have, as political campaigns play out in the big cities, in the remote communities of con pitcher Indigenous Women are calling for greater recognition of their needs. Yet they remain skeptical that their voices will be heard with a woman in power rather than a man to be a go. Yeah, i know. Ill just euro come fidget mexico on you say oh, now to say are off to one. 0, one east. Stay with ascend. Thanks so much. The the in the center. Ive been getting the, the lease is solomon on america. The serious scooby dive is stable. These guys have traveled from all over the world to be here to see some impressive and deep will go to rick. Rick daughters attractive, a lot just by the middle of the water. Its the history of just the challenge. Many people on the season on boston found one of the greatest see graveyards as world war 2. What lies beneath is an environmental time. The reality is there is a tremendous amount of pollution that solid base racks. They are literally the sense of taking time off. The question is, how much was inpatient briggs and kennedy seem to be done about it before i collapse. Move in, id use, the go, a ferocious bass or true place here between japan and the allies, and the legacy of it extends from the sea to the shore with Deadly Weapons and ammunition still littering bays on 101 east makes the Solomon Islanders to confiscate a bruce award the ended decades ago, the were off the coast of guadalcanal on the solomon mazda dive place is going to put a plug in knoxville for you. Im here with neil yates. I 1st met him when i used to leave here and he was running a dive company today to see, to share his deep knowledge of solomons war time passed. With these dive, his walk along Solomon Island is and to our model sounds, youre unaware why this is cold on bottom sound. It is because there are on around the 200. 00 ships out there. Theres also 690. 00 aircraft out there. So this was one of the most densely populated wrecks sites in the pacific. Tater guadalcanal was the Longest Campaign of any of the campaigns which afford throughout the orleans and the pacific. On august 7th, 1942 American Marines in their 1st major on the ration landed on guadalcanal. This landing on guadalcanal, an island in the solomons, was the 1st time during world war 2. The us had invited japanese held territory, triggering a series of massive battles on land. And it seemed like a months, an extraordinary amount of amunition was exchanged by both sides. The end of the doctors, my Doctors Office on our own cruise, the camera was lost. The losses were numerous around 30000 main, were killed. Moving a 1000 planes destroyed in thousands of ships sunk. Guadalcanal is extremely significant. That stops the japanese advance across the pacific and the American Forces and push them eventually back to back to my mind japan. The rex, these divers have come to see, have been corroding for and theres more than just rusting missile down there. Theres also an unknown amount of toxic black oil trapped inside the corroding rigs. The salt whole lot of oil on things around here. Tunnel from the will. I can only has that a guess, but yeah, were talking tens of thousands of tons the today, new is going to be my dies buddy. Were going to see if we can find any oil and see what impact the corrosion is having on these chips. And if you take the, were heading down the more in line to see us as kind of what an oil tank it sunk during a japanese a ride. In 1943, the sitting 60 maces below the surface with its guns still pointing sky wood. Its a haunting sun. A will grave. Quite a large ship. Total fuel capacity was a bit of a 9000 tons. This is the opening to one of the ships many fuel bunkers. Just a few years ago they was oil in this hold. And daughters would leave covered in a sticky black sludge. Now its empty, but its just one risk of why there are others, divers, kind of getting to the why or the use the country and all the holes, the ships, the god concerned the section. So dont know what is the thing. Mix dive side is just of the caused about 10 kilometers from the capital. Honey are the, its a japanese transport called the here a color membrane. Its a popular dive side would be useful. Corals and fish the inside part of the ship, neil finds a pocket if a boil trapped in a space on the roof. There are more oil patches like these in here enough to pollute the beach if they were to leak out. As we had to the surface, think about how big these problem could be and how much we comp see a lot of the racks are really, really vague and really hard to access. No noise, exactly how much fuel in a while was on board when they went down. Know how much is still with having dived only this Solomon Island, theres one rick neelys particularly worried about the american cruise. A us us atlanta big loss which is something thats uh, theres a major up here fuel. So the atlanta lies in a 130 mazes of war. So its to date for us to dive today. These peaches were filmed by an expedition crew in 2011 of oil bubbles coming to the surface. How likely do you think it is so have possible, do you think it is that a ship like that could rupture at some point in the future . Likely. Yeah, its highly likely, so its fairly heavily built, but its, um, eventually, oh, it will rust and collapse. You can see what to say. The structure area here is collect doctor mat casa, is a marine archaeologist, choose investigating the corrosion of world war 2 ricks in the pacific. So we work for the g or so its a Company Called c j. And the item you said lots to actually map little slips on spice to you can say Solomon Islands. And as you can see here, the court oil slicks from thousands of individuals move or taisha brooks. Whats the swan thats right off the coast funny. All right, so thats the easiest atlanta, the, the minimum were whats coming off that is as a low mountain, these changes been documenting pollution elsewhere in the pacific in march for neisha with a rex and notice date, its a warning about what could be happening in solomons daughters, this kind of one of the rigs and triple go. And as you can see here, theres a mess of pockets of, of oil side. Thats what were leaked out of the bunker tanks themselves and come out of stock. And those roof cavities and pots of the how well it would take is a small hole in the how full the soil to spill out. Potentially thousands of leaders of oil released at one guy which is not. Thats kind of one of the worst Case Scenarios for, for this kind of problem across the pacific, japan and the us tennessee on a ship of the rigs as well grades. But in solomons they not doing anything to stop them from causing environmental problems with the brakes and Solomon Islands. Do you think its a case of when not, if there is a significant spill, the rates are crowding we know that its, its science and they will release the oil that i have the remains. But the question is, how much was in these patient breaks and can anything be done about it before like lips . Is it clear who has the legal and the moral responsibility to do something about these wrecks . Its not clear that its a really complicated situation by the end of the day. The Solomon Islanders the more canadians, you know, they shouldnt be the ones picking up the, the, the cost and things i guess and page of the game. The funny are, is of busy rapidly expanding seasons that was built on the battlefield. P a. People still rely heavily on the land and the sea the us will memorial is a spectacular spot to take it only and get a sense of how different the land looked during the war. On these sites, there were nothing, no houses whatsoever. Only for us, you have come here with saint michael. Been a world war 2 to a god. Hold on this uh, unexploded bones, greenage and all of this is this thing on the surface. So many times when the people makes thousands, they never realize that the unexploded booms just a few feet down on the ground. So when they was the grass is old, the trees, the southern need. The wolves exploded the sport. But that one is forever standing there, stepping upstairs. This is the Solomon Islands police farm squad. I was wondering offices there among some of the most experienced world war 2 disposal experts in the regional since 2011. Theyve recovered nearly 50000, unexploded ordnance code u x. So is so the most common thing is some degree, like almost every week we have pull out the boys, they went out and responded and get the 3 nights. And then we have the project as especially the 75000000 with the color, but a clifford to no key is the departments acting direct. Uh he knows about the dangers of us. So is, but many locals dogs, some of the ordinances. They have some very sensitive elements within the bottom, which is really sensitive the moment. So the moment you touch it, it just just exploded for the past 10 years, about 13 that in people have been queued. So for a small population, it is a high number is quite consuming. The bill, this is job is to respond to reports of buicks always found, find the crew they headed to a house on the outskirts of the cc. These hilltops nearby will part of the Evacuation Route taken by japanese soldiers as american troops post them off the island. So just arrived at the spot where a bomb has been reported and the police have just gone down to check it out. We have to stay here because they dont know if its safe smear. Below the room deputies i talked to local allan b, a lossy, he says the hewick so was found by a child. And its not the 1st time you have the funding, whats more confidence, a little bit of a feeling when you 1st apply, hey, way its of a finding the telephone level to you see him home florida. How come a little uh what wouldnt meaningful selling. Boom boom. Boom, boom, just too much. Im done with give me what i see and its a small projectile, but still contains high explosive materials. While we hear another call comes in theres so Much Development going on in honey. All right, u x o is often found on construction site costs behind a shipping container out the front of this building. So theres a 60 millimeter move around. I found this one today or before. Yeah. And excavations, his honest to move us is taking around if any other ones just lay out um do you think that could be more on this side . Could be more but some might be other people they should be cleared into before close that soon. But its not the job of police to check below the surface. Its fascinating to me that ive just pulled some motors out of the ground, but these guys just keep on working. If youre looking at any other place in the world, if that happened, a building site like this would be immediately shut down. But here in Solomon Islands, paperless so used to having these bones and these folding and flying around. So they just have to get on with the police off and get calls from the halo. Trust pin deal has been given a 1000000. 00 by the Us Government to serve a the land for will vote to us. So is there any reporting what they see on the surface today, they found 38 projectiles and a pile near a tree. And another 79. 00 in the bushes is old, empty sales, but we are ready to take them and throw it at the house and cut off by the tail spread. Locals moved one new, excited to a tree branch to keep it away from little hands. The sin reaching goss uh, leaves just up the hill. So he was right there on the banana, i dislike. I dont even picked it up. I just moved it and it exploded it now. And what did you think when you sort of thought it was like, just like a little kettle, like a team was do you know that like a m a. See it here. He was 11 when he found a world war 2 round containing want phosphorus which causes excruciating bins. And hes been left with severe injuries. But hes one of the lucky ones, rosary astray, you have helped him get surgery and rehab. Can you pick things out full . Yeah, i can take the full quite just as smoke thing that a big thing the most of the efforts to spend on clearing us always from the surface, leaving the most challenging job of looking for them on the ground to a handful of private clearance. Ok, right to me by me. Safety also for you me to day. So if anything him happened this put him on, blew up on to Say Something so so. So michael mac has spent 16 years in the Police Bomb Squad before starting his own company. Whats the deepest youve ever found . The u. X us the go about the 3 meet us and we found both hands is the 136155. 00 project tense. Using military grade miss will detect his he charges just 0. 65 per square meter to check the land for us. So is that most Solomon Islanders cant afford even that very, very expensive for that. How do you feel that in the times that youve, youve, youve heard that someones been injured are being killed by us. So what course are you mind when that happens . The, the very most of the story. I think the government is not, you know, so help full enough to help this people, they know the fighters, the peaceful you know, before civil it and its totally monotonous. When the war ended, us jump on these black forest went home, went home in peace. We still do not have please, on doing we, we sort of say for me, its sort of in the, im struck by how the actions of japan and the allies, 80 years ago, continues to affect so many Solomon Islanders the in cook and fishing village. The de stats early one will fly would or was in naval and piano a has been up since for i am preparing to make coconuts guns for school lunches, so this is migrated coconut. This replaces the milk fuzzy ref. Whats the, how the milk ben doesnt have that island taste. But now even cooking is a struggle and this refrain goes being removed. And this one being re lesser rated right to the wrist. It doesnt give me any strength at all. 3 years ago, milan and 2 of her friends looking on a traditional 5 page when a world war 2 projectile buried under ground, exploded. The show was americans put in there to hans legs and abdomen to shreds and to had 2 friends. A troll when the cab beach and i was tearing it. And just when i was saving it into the bowl that they were holding on to them, the thing exploded. I didnt hear the explosion. I heard the hissing sound and then i realize that something is happening to us. I i so my next time you all, hadnt you know the skin and the flush were all hanging right to my ribs. And then i, i realize im in big trouble. She lives with pain, had to quit a job at the National University and doesnt get support from the government or any of the countries involved in the role. In other places, there is support. And in the slow months there is no support is really frustrating to me, emotionally. Im really, i dont, i dont know if it affects me to think that the us and japan and the allies should html. Yes. Sometimes i want to blame the of the allies for doing i mean the war and had it not for them. I wouldnt be having this issues, but its because of what they came with and what they leave behind. Thats cause some of us to have. Please enjoy reason last live similarly so they should be coming over in person with the resources to come to the clear now the back at the police from school to headquarters. The offices, the heading down the range to dispose of 2 rounds of what falls 1st, but blowing them up the we have to stay at a safe distance in the right of your brain to down. But there are many, many more to go. What is out there is unsafe in just my estimate. Maybe more than a 100000. 00 items still out there. The cleaning up the Solomon Islands will probably take decades and its highly likely in that time more people will be injured and even killed the mainland doesnt want to let that happen. Shes now training in hewick. So Risk Awareness in the hope she can one of the of the dangers and sped them, the horror and hardship on. Ive been given a 2nd chance to me. So the 2nd chance that i have now is to tell others about my experience and be more careful with life. Because once we lose it, thats it. Change. Some of us will never have a 2nd chance. I have one. So i will use the 2nd chance that ive been given to house office one of the biggest selections of 2024 in the general election. Will Prime Minister now render movies be taking increase its food across the country . How will Economic Uncertainty and use some employment suite voters in key states and will the media be able to come of a freebie unfairly, ongoing coverage in the selections on out, is there a, the zeros here . Its a report on the people often ignored, but who must be hurt. How many other channels can you say . Well take this time and put extensive followed into reporting from under reported areas. Of course we cover major global defense, but our passion lies in making sure that youre hearing the stories from people in places like how is fine lydia young and region and so many others. We go to them, we make the effort. We care strict. Hodge, i mean to be used as the i r c suffered casualties, we have not suffered fatalities. Thank goodness we did have injuries from a missile strike on a guest house. Thought provoking on to who they to say no double standards to all of us. Any, anyone in particular, i said, all facing realities, government seems here to whittle down democracy. If this is troubling for you, its very, very painful here. The story on talk to how does era, the child is posed from the rubble in northern casa, often, and is rarely astride, never, fortunately, killed her mother. The human cost is rosa. Im carry johnson. This is ill just share a lot from so side, coming up. The diplomatic below for israel egypt shows its anger again 6
