Ratings life we are seeing the center of moscow at three pm now thanks for watching my name is kevin zero in bringing you this half hour as live news round up starting with this revealing the portuguese island of terrorists in the azores in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is a desperate need of decontamination decades of u. S. Air force like to. Allegedly left it polluted with hydrocarbons and heavy metals and all of this say theyre simply extremely worried about the prevalence of cancer and other serious illnesses. But back to twenty thousand this is not constant its also like this if this is releases that never a constant someone now thats eighteen twenty twenty twenty thousand twenty days down. Below freezing and its time to run away from here as were already of states the long. Haul we have is a series of locations with a stream of high levels of pollution caused by heavy metals the hydrocarbons there are very high levels of lead in some zones copper zinc molybdenum base all of them having metals that in certain concentrations can cause to Realty Concept arrhythmia and neverending amounts of problems associated with an excess of these substances. All my family lived in that area both of my parents died of cancer my mom of Breast Cancer and my dad was a different kind of cancer like when i was thirty three i was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Was much confusing the more cancer cases there are the more the pill ation asks why is this happening and why is the pride of its oriya the roads that on one side all houses have a had at least one case of cancer and on the other side its almost every other house that is not normal yours. And its a pretty looking place isnt it what the u. S. Has maintained a presence on that island since one thousand nine hundred forty three to set or serves as a stopover for transatlantic military flights and it houses the sixty fifth air base Group Although its not known how many personnel exactly are currently stationed there there are one hundred sixty one houses to accommodate them anyway one former employee told us about the health risks that workers at that facility say theyve also been exposed to. Of you going to your meant there was also a Senate Commission that came to check a Legal Process from some members of the American Military who are dying of terminal cancer who were exposed to radioactivity on to say they were here for about a week and during this time i found out that we are doing here they were here to confirm the existence of radiation the island the radioactive contamination with. The dar environmental situation on that island was first acknowledged in a classified report written in two thousand and three which has since been leaked it details seventeen major fuel spills in one fifteen thousand gallons of oil were released when a pipeline was unintentionally activated it was in one thousand nine hundred four theres been no cleanup since we hear the report goes on to stress that the islands inhabitants are at risk from contaminants in the air and the soil in the water is what local experts have been telling us about it. Well far weve found in the data that was published referring to the two thousand and seven two thousand and eleven period a higher number of certain cancers in the prior to victoria area than the rest of the years or so especially regarding the rarer cancers for example i can see with thirty three percent of those all cases being in prior difference or while the area has only eight point five two percent of the population of. The. Way and this is a hell the repeat itself on various islands occupied by the americans this is almost a scorched earth policy where the problems accumulate and the local government doesnt react the population has no capacity to take a stance maybe as a result of scientific illiteracy or lack of knowledge on the cause effect relations i can tell you we contacted both the us and portuguese government so far theres been no response back to the specific questions we asked the us did however though ford has a press release from last december stating that the two countries are aware of the situation and theyre seeking expert advice on how best to try to tackle it and proceed.

Next door is a germany where one of the top representatives of the nationalist party as loans to scathing attack on chancellor Angela Merkel he told a parliamentary session on thursday morning that her partys migration policies have been a failure and that shes part of a push to impose multiculturalism not just on germany but other european states too as a europe correspondent peter all over explains. Well finger pointing and a walkout by the chancellor is this the new normal of german politics it was a very heated session in the bundestag on thursday morning here in berlin. Merkel was outlining how she sees some of the challenges facing germany and europe and what needed to be done on that but it was really the performance from the political new kids on the block alternative for germany well certainly to a lot of the attention first off we heard from alice violent whos one of their coleaders she said that the e. U. No longer represented the german taxpayer in fact going as far as to call it pure socialism well that resulted in a lot of groans and a few boos from her fellow members of the bundestag she also called for a reduction in the e. U. Budget post breaks it but then it was the turn of her coleader alexander gallant to speak he hits out directly at angola merkels support for the proposed e. U. Refugee Distribution System that would see an overhaul of the dublin treaty that would see mandatory quotas for e. U. Nations saying that they have to take set amounts of refugees you know its human that countries want to decide for themselves who they take in there is no national do you two with regard to multiculturalism and this last remark goes especially to the greens here. Well that prompted this reaction from the chancellor Angela Merkel clearly having enough decided she was often not going to stick around to hear mr garland say that he supported cooperation between the e. U. Member states but not the formation of the United States of europe well is this the new normal in german politics because like them or loath them alternative for germany have the votes there in the parliament weve actually seen them growing in the polls of late one cant really presume that every time they Say Something that mrs merkel doesnt agree with shes going to decide she has somewhere else better to be it all over in berlin coming out the latest on one of the most curious stories of the week now to russian curlers have been stripped of their bronze medals at the Winter Olympics in south korea with all the details after a short break. When you. See the. North through space. Let me know. That. You speak french. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sport im sure. Ill see you then. Ill get welcome but thanks for watching ill see live from moscow so to say one of the most curious stories of the week two olympic athletes from russia have now been stripped of their bronze medals in curling by the court of arbitration for sport after one of them tested positive for a banned substance imported from south korea. So cas is officially saying that the first ever russian medal in curling that was won by the oh a are mixed deal will now have to be taken away from them the announcement comes just about fifteen hours after alexander crucial lead ski whos both doping test samples turned out to be positive formal dhoni chose not to proceed with the court of arbitration for sport hearing that was planned for thursday afternoon. Its silly to do dont it dont be rules violations when the presence of a prohibited substance was confirmed by to doping tests im ready for the verdict which is predictably the same in all cases and i weigh the pros and cons and decided to withdraw from the class hearings i think in this situation its useless and senseless so the russian curler has admitted that there was an antidoping rule violation formally but he maintains that he is not guilty and that he has never taken the pills on purpose today we found out that alexander crucial needs and his wife are not giving up the legal battle completely the Russian Curling Federation will be looking to help them through trying to prove his innocence eventually and also they will try to get back these medals for now they havent been able to obtain the c. C. T. V. Footage or any other possible evidence that could play in favor of the o. A. R. Half fleet but if they do so the court of arbitration for sport provides the opportunity to relaunch the arbitration later the concentration of the mill dhoni and these two dont bring test samples pointed to a single use and we heard from the man who invented the drug that taking the pills once or twice is absolutely useless besides this weve spoken to the coaches experts other curlers who had suggested that there may have been some sort of sabotage that someone could have spiked alexanders food or drinks although if the curlers want to get their medals back they will obviously have to prove that and that is a very difficult process if youre trying to report for us is a curious story on a lighter note the cold each of the names they fight and each other with nuclear war another finally met will be known as doubles. Gave him a guy who. Actually made a movie useful in war one with instagram. Donald trump and kim jong uns impersonators appeared together in pyongyang earlier on cruise with them weve got a special something for you in the making so literally and it might be everything. But today its exactly four years since ukraines president going to coverts was overthrown in a Popular Uprising that began in kiev in november twenty third team the protests which were initially peaceful began in response to endemic corruption and the governments decision to abandon an economic deal with the e. U. But it quickly spiraled out of control. So years old from the uprising some of the my then activists now see the protests in a very different light they say their hopes for meaningful change in the country havent materialized we spoke to one of them about her change of heart. The students compassion for them and sharing that and to corruption and socially i ranted which person c. M. But were hijacked by the want to gox almost at the very start. Stage to saying it is a i believe it was a mistake to fall for the slogans of the nationalists my personal mistake is that i should have realized that much sooner the people who started those spontaneous protests could answer the question of what they were against but couldnt say what they stood for that was the key problem they didnt have a plan and therefore allowed themselves to be used but i have no right to judge people for taking part in the protests. During the uprising the protesters in kiev received strong support from both u. S. And e. U. Officials top american politicians was in addressing crowds of people the demonstrations at some point and even distributing bread european officials also involved
