[00:00:09] you come back.
[00:00:11] and we give each and every one of
[00:00:30] what's that? I
[00:00:32] know you didn't, but right? It's
[00:00:35] dangerous. You guys
[00:00:37] from? From here,
[00:00:40] from live here right here? No, you
[00:00:43] like it's good, very good. Thank you. Where did you learn
[00:00:47] English? In school, in school? Very
[00:00:50] nice. Your school is right
[00:00:52] here.
[00:00:55] engagions à créer les conditions de Well, I learned English in the US. I went to
[00:00:58] school there, and there's lots of...
[00:01:26] observations in terms of
[00:01:30] Ah.
[00:01:39] Do you know what this sound above your head is? Mr. Shahoqi said this
[00:01:43] is a drone. An Israeli
[00:01:45] drone. Their sound always comes,
[00:01:48] right? Children are very afraid of this sound,
[00:01:52] and there was a study that showed that children in Gaza
[00:01:56] become anxious and terrified of this sound. Of course, this was a study
[00:02:00] 5 years ago, but now there's an open massacre.
[00:02:25] Such a point for
[00:02:26] me
[00:02:29] in these circumstances. The only thing I can feel
[00:02:31] is solidarity with the people of this
[00:02:35] region and how I can help
[00:02:38] them convey these realities
[00:02:41] to the rest of the world, whose ears are closed.
[00:02:45] برسونن.
[00:02:50] The intensity of the destruction is not justifiable, it is not
[00:02:54] imaginable.
[00:02:57] These are probably 2000-pound
[00:03:01] American bombs that Israel uses for bombing.
[00:03:04] From them,
[00:03:08] the samples that we took from the buildings of Beirut,
[00:03:11] which I think is the center of where Sheikh Hassan
[00:03:14] Nasrallah was killed, our initial
[00:03:18] data is that we see a large
[00:03:21] amount of metals in that soil that are not ordinary metals,
[00:03:25] they are metals that are very closely related to
[00:03:28] weapon industries.
[00:03:56] One of the very prominent Palestinian fighters whose
[00:03:59] clear and explicit
[00:04:03] explanations are available in the two films remaining of him.
[00:04:06] If this man had not been assassinated,
[00:04:10] the lives of Palestinians would have been different because he was one of the greatest
[00:04:14] thinkers who showed the right path of action
[00:04:17] and resistance, but he and his sister's
[00:04:21] children were assassinated. Israel assassinated
[00:04:23] them and took them
[00:04:26] away, and the rest were fighters.
[00:04:49] There is an American military base that is very
[00:04:52] sophisticated, very deeply
[00:04:56] rooted in this region, and from this Israel, from this
[00:05:00] country, America
[00:05:04] exerts its pressures on the countries of the region through Israel itself.
[00:05:07] Right now, due to the resistance that the people of Iran showed
[00:05:11] against Israel, due to the success
[00:05:14] that Iran achieved in the attack
[00:05:18] that Israel launched against Iran. Israel started the attack, but
[00:05:21] Iran was victorious in repelling it and
[00:05:25] in showing them that we are a cohesive country,
[00:05:29] we will fight with you side by side, and you cannot enter Iran. All
[00:05:32] of this is a story that happened, and these have been inspiring
[00:05:36] for these people in this regard that it is possible
[00:05:40] to resist Israel and drive them out.
[00:05:46] War leaves lasting marks on a person and a
[00:05:49] community, and at times, most of the time,
[00:05:52] those scars last beyond the generation directly affected by the
[00:05:56] conflict. Um, Annalis Borges, and on this episode of the stream we
[00:05:59] discuss what means and kills, long after the
[00:06:03] guns are silenced. Joining us to discuss are
[00:06:06] Morehani,
[00:06:08] environmental toxicologist who has documented war-created environmental
[00:06:12] hazards in the Middle East, particularly in post-war
[00:06:16] Iraq. Morgan, you you've published work on
[00:06:19] harmful um health impacts of war-created
[00:06:22] pollution across the Middle East, and we will talk more about your work in Iraq in
[00:06:26] just a moment, but how would you say what Alex
[00:06:29] is describing, has described just now, relates and will
[00:06:33] relate to what's been happening in Gaza? What
[00:06:36] are some of your other
[00:06:39] the conflict, the war, the assault that is...
[00:06:42] unfolding right now in front of our
[00:06:44] eyes?
[00:06:47] Um, we know that in the past year and two months,
[00:06:51] 100,000 tons of bombs have
[00:06:54] been dropped on Gaza. Gaza is a
[00:06:58] quarter of the size of London, 100,000
[00:07:01] tons of bombs in a small area like that,
[00:07:05] and by the way, 100,000 tons of bombs is
[00:07:08] equivalent to several atomic bombs that the United States...
[00:07:12] dropped on Hiroshima. So when we speak to
[00:07:15] this massive, incredibly
[00:07:19] unprecedented bombing an area the size of
[00:07:22] Gaza, we're talking about introducing not
[00:07:26] only asbestos, but also incredible amounts
[00:07:29] of toxic metals into that environment. We are
[00:07:33] introducing lead and mercury, which are neurotoxins, we are
[00:07:37] introducing all kinds of teratogens and
[00:07:39] carcinogens, and what I can see happening in
[00:07:42] Gaza is that it has become a place that
[00:07:46] does not allow for healthy reproduction. We have
[00:07:50] looked at this issue of reproduction in Iraq in multiple
[00:07:53] cities, and I will talk about it when time comes, and what we
[00:07:57] do show is that metals like
[00:07:59] titanium, that's like tungsten, like lead and
[00:08:02] mercury and cadmium and chromium, they go
[00:08:06] up in the bodies of children who have been
[00:08:09] exposed to military pollution.
[00:08:13] including bombings and bullets, etc.
[00:08:17] So what this does is that it
[00:08:20] creates health issues in the children in the form of birth
[00:08:24] defects. If a mother, a pregnant mother, is exposed
[00:08:27] to all these toxins during her pregnancy,
[00:08:31] it will end up in the body of the fetus, and we will see
[00:08:34] increased risk of congenital anomalies or birth
[00:08:38] defects in that child. So what I see unfolding in Gaza
[00:08:42] in this genocide is that we are looking into the
[00:08:46] future where Gaza is not a
[00:08:49] good place for reproduction, and I might add that that is
[00:08:53] a war crime if you inflict so much damage
[00:08:57] to a place where it becomes impossible to have healthy
[00:09:01] children.
[00:09:05] Our article is almost
[00:09:06] complete
[00:09:09] regarding the pollutants from the bombs that
[00:09:13] Israel dropped in Beirut
[00:09:16] a few months ago, the pollutants that entered
[00:09:19] Beirut's environment.
[00:09:23] We collected numerous samples and analyzed
[00:09:26] them, and we found numerous metals in them, including
[00:09:29] جملهن
[00:09:31] and titanium, which are very important metals in terms of military
[00:09:35] equipment, in addition to the suspicion
[00:09:38] that in these attacks, Israel used
[00:09:42] depleted uranium. To see if this claim is
[00:09:45] true or not, we are conducting several
[00:09:48] new tests to show
[00:09:51] us the ratio of uranium isotopes. The only way to find out
[00:09:54] if it was really depleted uranium or not is
[00:09:58] to perform a very expensive and difficult test that
[00:10:02] most universities in America do not perform,
[00:10:05] but some of them do. We contacted
[00:10:08] one of the universities, and they now have our samples and are working on them.
[00:10:14] I need to contact them to see what stage they are at and
[00:10:18] when we can,
[00:10:20] so to speak, receive the latest results.
[00:10:24] So.
[00:10:35] yes, I did get the um metal analysis
[00:10:39] that you sent me, I got all the results and thank you so much because we
[00:10:43] didn't have good readings
[00:10:46] for uh tungsten or titanium, your results are really
[00:10:49] crisp.
[00:10:52] Yeah, yeah, it can be used values we have from the other lab from
[00:10:55] Waterloo, but what I was going to ask is, are you guys
[00:10:59] going to give us the ratio of different
[00:11:03] uranium isotopes, because that is what we
[00:11:06] need, uranium
[00:11:09] 238, 234 and
[00:11:12] 235.
[00:11:14] Aha, okay, so then you
[00:11:18] can, well, if you can, we will
[00:11:20] wait. Yeah, I understand, okay?
[00:11:25] Maybe next
[00:11:25] week.
[00:11:30] Uh, well then when you do the second test, let me know and then
[00:11:34] you will you will tell me where we stand. Is that the, is
[00:11:37] that the final or do we have to go further, because a
[00:11:40] thousand dollars is a lot of money for each
[00:11:44] sample.
[00:11:46] Okay, all right, well thank you so much, buddy, yeah, things
[00:11:50] are okay, we're surviving.
[00:11:53] Yeah, all right, bye-bye, my.
[00:11:55] In fact, what I said before is that to show that this
[00:11:59] uranium is uranium from a military source,
[00:12:02] we must be able to show the ratio of different uranium isotopes.
[00:12:06] Depleted uranium has a very
[00:12:09] large percentage of uranium 238
[00:12:13] isotope, and 234 and 235 are very
[00:12:17] small in this
[00:12:20] mixture. We will succeed, God willing, in the next two weeks to see if
[00:12:24] we can adjust these ratios and see the
[00:12:28] reality of what we found in the soil of Beirut. If this is done,
[00:12:32] then
[00:12:34] if we can show this in Beirut, this
[00:12:37] can confirm it for the bombs they dropped in Gaza,
[00:12:41] for the bombs they dropped in Syria. If we can do this, we have gathered very
[00:12:45] important information that can have a broad
[00:12:48] international impact. This depleted uranium material
[00:12:52] is radioactive and
[00:13:05] it's a very important result, and we hope to receive it within the next week or two.
[00:13:26] Sabawi Isfahani is currently working on a research project in
[00:13:30] the Middle East, specifically focused on
[00:13:33] Iraq. With Newcastle University
[00:13:35] and Purdue University in America, we have shown
[00:13:39] in various articles that we have written that metal
[00:13:43] pollutants
[00:13:49] mercury, lead, and
[00:13:51] a very long list of such dangerous
[00:13:55] elements enter the environment and remain, and
[00:13:59] pregnant women, sick people, elderly
[00:14:02] people are constantly exposed to them. What we showed
[00:14:06] in Iraq, which will certainly happen in
[00:14:09] Gaza, in Palestine, in Lebanon, in Syria,
[00:14:13] in Yemen, which are the targets of Israeli and American
[00:14:16] bombings, is that
[00:14:20] after such attacks and such savagery
[00:14:23] that the West is showing
[00:14:25] to the Middle East,
[00:14:28] we see epidemics of
[00:14:30] birth defects in children after these bombings,
[00:14:34] and at the same time, cancer.
[00:14:37] Our focus is on what happened in Lebanon, meaning the bombs
[00:14:40] that America and Israel dropped in very
[00:14:43] densely populated areas of Beirut, causing
[00:14:47] very widespread slaughter, and we are looking to find
[00:14:51] the trace of very destructive
[00:14:54] metals in these areas, and we are very, very
[00:14:57] close to finding out whether depleted uranium,
[00:15:01] which is not a very suitable name but is a type of uranium that
[00:15:05] is radioactive and affects the
[00:15:09] pregnancy of women and children who
[00:15:12] are growing in the womb. We are very close to being able to find
[00:15:16] that answer, whether depleted uranium was used or not.
[00:15:19] From what we have been able to collect so far,
[00:15:23] it seems that it has been used, but we have not
[00:15:27] yet been able to perform the last test, and we are in the process of doing so. Let's
[00:15:31] keep our country untouched and pure by showing solidarity
[00:15:34] with the people of the Middle East. Thank you.
[00:16:56] Oh, you scoundrels.
[00:18:02] Thank you very much, you know, mayor, a tailor. He is the mayor of Ann Arbor,
[00:18:06] and he uh, he basically
[00:18:09] supports Israel to the best of his ability. He
[00:18:13] has said prayers for the state of Israel while the genocide was
[00:18:17] going on. Yeah, I don't like this girl. They all own our
[00:18:20] politicians, they definitely do own them. Uh, but the point
[00:18:24] is for you guys as young people, you can do a lot of
[00:18:27] stuff. You can write to the city of Ann Arbor, ask them,
[00:18:31] why don't you pass the resolution that has been
[00:18:34] brought to you for 24 years that says cut off the money.
[00:19:07] analyzed soil samples from Lebanon for us.
[00:19:10] The first lab showed us the number
[00:19:14] of heavy metals in the soil. Among them were uranium,
[00:19:18] tungsten,
[00:19:20] lithium, lead, and so on. About
[00:19:24] 40 metals were measured for us. The second lab
[00:19:27] showed us the amount of uranium 238,
[00:19:31] isotope 238 uranium in the soil
[00:19:35] samples, and the third
[00:19:38] lab showed us the ratio of
[00:19:42] uranium 238 and uranium 235.
[00:19:46] The reason we needed the ratio of these two
[00:19:48] uranium isotopes was to see if we
[00:19:51] could find depleted uranium in the areas
[00:19:55] bombed by Israel or not. Depleted uranium
[00:19:58] has significant differences from natural
[00:20:02] uranium or enriched uranium. Depleted uranium
[00:20:05] has an isotope ratio of 20.
[00:20:37] tells us that Israel used depleted
[00:20:40] uranium when bombing Beirut
[00:20:43] in Lebanon in 2004.
[00:20:46] We found depleted uranium in soil samples
[00:20:50] that we collected from bombarded sites in
[00:20:53] Beirut, and it is now finalized. What this
[00:20:57] tells you is that Israel not only used
[00:21:00] depleted uranium-containing bombs in Syria in
[00:21:04] 2007, they have also used it
[00:21:07] in Lebanon in 2024,
[00:21:11] which tells us it is very likely that the bombs that they
[00:21:15] are throwing on Gaza right now are also
[00:21:18] containing radioactive... material. Depleted
[00:21:21] uranium is a byproduct of uranium
[00:21:24] enrichment, and it is radioactive. It
[00:21:27] emits ionizing radiation. Ionizing
[00:21:31] radiation has the power to break
[00:21:34] DNA in the human body. It has the power
[00:21:37] to increase levels of toxic material in our
[00:21:41] bodies, reactive oxygen species, which
[00:21:44] will themselves attack cells and cause
[00:21:47] damage. In short, the... depleted uranium
[00:21:50] exposure is harmful to reproduction in humans,
[00:21:54] and Israelis are apparently
[00:21:57] using depleted uranium bombs in Lebanon,
[00:22:01] and they have used it in Syria in
[00:22:04] 2007. We would anticipate that they are doing the same
[00:22:08] in Gaza. We hope that more information about
[00:22:12] what Israel is doing in the Middle East will help stop this
[00:22:15] genocide.
[00:24:01] Along the shores, the Persian Gulf stands Delv, a city
[00:24:05] where history and resistance run
[00:24:07] deep.
[00:24:12] It was here the race Ali delivery rose against British
[00:24:15] forces during the First World War, becoming a symbol of
[00:24:18] Southern Iran's struggle to defend its
[00:24:20] homeland.
[00:24:26] More than a century later, another son of Tangastan, Commander
[00:24:29] Alireza Tangsiri, carried that legacy into the modern
[00:24:33] era.
[00:24:36] two generations, one Persian Gulf, one
[00:24:39] enduring spirit of
[00:24:40] resistance.
[00:24:55] For decades he topped the most wanted
[00:24:57] list,
[00:25:01] no public appearances, no voice, only a shadow that
[00:25:04] reshaped the
[00:25:05] battlefield,
[00:25:11] the dust the refugee camps to the underground labyrinth of
[00:25:14] Gaza, Muhammad Dave evolved from a street fighter
[00:25:17] into the mastermind of asymmetric
[00:25:20] warfare, surviving repeated
[00:25:23] assassinations, his silence became a weapon and his
[00:25:26] name, enduring legend after his martyrdom.
[00:25:41] welcome to the French way of shaping the
[00:25:44] future.
[00:25:46] We have a special plan for your children.
[00:26:07] We understand their
[00:26:08] needs
[00:26:14] them our personal
[00:26:15] attention
[00:26:18] with highly trained personnel, advanced equipment, and a
[00:26:22] constant presence by their
[00:26:24] side.
[00:26:40] So the impact of our care stays with them for the rest of their
[00:26:44] lives, and of course our plans
[00:26:48] extend
[00:26:49] France.
[00:26:52] et proclamions notre fois dans les droits fondamentaux de l'homme, et nous nous
[00:26:57] la justice, à favoriser le progrès social, à pratiquer la tolérance et à
[00:27:01] vivre en paix les...
[00:29:14] The headlines: the IRGC Ground Forces Commander says armed forces
[00:29:17] are fully prepared to deliver a decisive response to any hostile
[00:29:20] action following his visit to Iranian Persian Gulf
[00:29:24] islands. US Republican Congressman Thomas
[00:29:28] Massie has filed eight articles of impeachment against War Secretary Pete
[00:29:31] Hegseth.
[00:29:37] Also on our headlines, France faces another day of nationwide strikes and
[00:29:41] protests as trade unions mobilize workers against rising
[00:29:44] living costs and government austerity measures.
