(SBS.Dateline) [2010] [XviD.Mp3]

This is a fix for the other torrent. Sorry peeps, had forgot to set the resolution when encoding from the MKV file, and so it was still HD and not compatible with Standalone players.
All fixed now :)

Iraq's Deadly Legacy
Reporter: Fouad Hady
Broadcast: 15/08/2010

Description:
The number of babies born with severe deformities and children developing leukaemia is rising dramatically in parts of Iraq.

US forces used depleted uranium weapons to attack the city in the war, which locals say has left them with this devastating legacy.

One report even says the number of such illnesses in Falluja is higher than that recorded after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Walkley Award winning video journalist Fouad Hady returns to his home country to see some of the deformed and desperately ill children, and meets some of the people battling against the odds to rebuild their lives, and their city.

*********UPDATE*********
Dateline's story about the increase in babies being born deformed and children developing cancer in Iraq has been named as a finalist for a UN award.

Fouad Hady's report, Iraq's Deadly Legacy, was broadcast in August and investigated the possible links between the increased cases and the use of depleted uranium weapons against Iraq.

The story is one of three finalists in the TV Current Affairs category of the United Nations Association of Australia Media Peace Awards 2010. The UN says the awards 'seek to promote understanding and awareness about humanitarian and social justice issues'.

The winner will be announced at a ceremony in Melbourne on 22nd October.
