Deze week kwam de oproep van hoofdredacties van meer dan honderd medischwetenschappelijke tijdschriften overal ter wereld om het gebruik van kernwapens uit te sluiten. Het is een vervolg op het IPPNW, internationale medici ter voorkoming van een kernoorlog, een initiatief uit de jaren 80 van medici aan beide kanten van het ijzeren gordijn, dat bedoeld was om in oost en west de machthebbers in te peperen dat gebruik van kernwapens catastrofaal zal zijn. We spreken met Ben Schoenmaker, directeur van het Nederlands Instituut voor Militaire Historie.

Deze week kwam de oproep van hoofdredacties van meer dan honderd medischwetenschappelijke tijdschriften overal ter wereld om het gebruik van kernwapens uit te sluiten.

We spreken met Ben Schoenmaker, directeur van het Nederlands Instituut voor Militaire Historie. De eerste persoon #4: Dominique van Varsseveld over Het levensverhaal van Frederick Douglass. Frederick Douglass legde de gruwelijkheden tijdens de slavernij bloot in Amerika en Europa. De bestseller uit 1845 wordt gezien als het eerste levensverhaal dat door een uit slavernij ontsnapte man zelf is opgeschreven. Journalist Dominique van Varsseveld in #4 van "De eerste persoon".

Am 11. März 2011 erschütterten Nachrichten aus Japan die ganze Welt: Auf die Naturkatastrophe eines Tsunamis folgte die Atomkatastrophe von Fukushima. Durch eine Kernschmelze in drei der sechs Reaktorblöcken kam es zu erheblichen Freisetzungen von Radionukliden in die Umwelt, die bis heute ihre Spuren hinterlassen. Heute sind wir dem Thema wieder näher, als wir uns wünschen würden. Beim Rückbau der Reaktoren fallen täglich tausende Liter kontaminiertes Wasser an, das zur Reinigung gefiltert und in Lagertanks geleitet wird. Aktuell befinden sich 1,3 Millionen Tonnen Wasser auf dem Gelände, welches Japan noch in diesem Jahr ins Meer leiten wird, obwohl hohe Mengen Tritium enthalten sind. Anlässlich des bevorstehenden OCEAN CRIMES spricht Maja in der neuen Folge mit Dr. med. Angelika Claußen. Angelika ist niedergelassene Ärztin für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie sowie Co-Vorsitzende und Präsidentin der IPPNW (International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War). Angelika koordiniert und vertritt die Arbeit der deutschen IPPNW zum Thema Frieden und Atomwaffenverbot, Atomausstieg sowie Klima und Krieg. In dieser Folge erfährst du, was das Atomkraftwerk Fukushima bis heute für Auswirkungen auf das Meer hat und auf was wir uns gefasst machen müssen, wenn der radioaktive Abfall ins Meer abgeleitet wird. Außerdem erklärt Angelika wichtige Grundlagen zum Thema Atomenergie, spricht über gesundheitliche Folgen von Atomkatastrophen und was sie bei der Entsorgung für Forderungen stellt. Gibt es eine bessere Alternative? Auch diese Frage wird von Maja und Angelika diskutiert, und du erfährst wie immer, wie auch du aktiv werden kannst.

Ende 2022 gehen die letzten drei Atomkraftwerke in Deutschland vom Netz. Das ist zumindest der Stand jetzt. Aktuell nehmen kritische Stimmen zu, die eine Verlängerung der Laufzeiten der verbliebenen Atomkraftwerke vor dem Hintergrund des Ukraine-Krieges und dem Voranschreiten des Klimawandels vorschlagen. Wir haben diese Debatte zum Anlass genommen und mit Dr. Angelika Claußen von der IPPNW über die Nachteile von Atomkraft in Hinblick auf den Frieden, das Klima und die Gesundheit gesprochen. Dabei erfährst du inwiefern Atomenergie und Atomwaffen zusammenhängen und wie sich die IPPNW für die atomare Abrüstung einsetzt. Laura Zöckler von den Bürgerwerken gibt uns einen Einblick in den aktuellen Ausbau Erneuerbarer Energien und erklärt, wie jede und jeder von uns einen Beitrag für die Energiewende leisten kann.

Der aktuelle Überfall Russlands auf die Ukraine zeigt, wie schnell ein kriegerisch ausgetragener Konflikt eskalieren und sich eine Spirale von Aggression und Gegen-Aggression in Richtung Atomwaffen weiter drehen kann. Putins schon am ersten Angriffstag ausgesprochene Drohung, auf jede Einmischung mit Folgen zu reagieren, die man in der Geschichte noch nie zuvor gesehen hätte, führt deutlich vor Augen, dass beim Vorhalten von Atomwaffen das Risiko eines Einsatzes von Atomwaffen immer da ist. Das schreibt die Ulmer Ärzteinitiative auf ihrer Website. "Keine neuen Atombomben und Atombomber für Deutschland!" In einem offenen Brief an die Bundesregierung fordern genau das also jetzt Friedensgruppen der drei ehemaligen Pershing 2-Standorte Heilbronn, Mutlangen und Neu-Ulm. Dazu gehört die Ulmer Ärzteinitiative, eine Regionalgruppe der Deutschen Sektion der internationalen Ärzte für die Verhütung eines Atomkrieges, Ärzte in sozialer Verantwortung e.V. Den Offenen Brief finden Sie hier: https://www.donau3fm.de und hier https://ippnw-ulm.de/keine-neuen-atombomben-und-atombomber-fuer-deutschland DONAU 3 FM Nachrichtenchef Harry Kist hat sich darüber mit Reinhold Thiel, Sprecher der Ulmer Ärzteinitiative IPPNW, gesprochen.

Der Ärzteverein International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War(IPPNW) ist 1980 von einem russischen und einem amerikanischen Kardiologen gegründet worden – zur Verhinderung eines Atomkrieges in den Zeiten des Kalten Krieges. Für ihr Engagement bekamen sie 1985 den Friedensnobelpreis. International setzen sich mehrere Tausend Mediziner und Medizinerinnen in über 60 Ländern auf allen fünf Kontinenten für eine friedliche, atomtechnologiefreie und menschenwürdige Welt ein und arbeiten dabei über alle politischen und gesellschaftlichen Grenzen hinweg. In Deutschland nennt sich die IPPNW “Deutsche Sektion der Internationalen Ärzte für die Verhütung des Atomkrieges / Ärzte in sozialer Verantwortung e.V.” und besteht aus 6000 Ärzten und Ärztinnen, Medizinstudierenden und Fördermitgliedern. Die Organisation forscht, unter anderem, zu den Fakten und Hintergründen der gesundheitlichen, sozialen und politischen Auswirkungen von Krieg und Atomtechnologie. Ich bin heute hier verabredet mit Carlotta Conrad. Sie ist Vorstandsmitglied der IPPNW. Hallo Carlotta, bitte stell uns doch die Arbeit der IPPNW etwas genauer vor. Was macht Ihr und warum?

En este año 2021, se cumplen 76 años del bombardeo atómico de las ciudades japonesas de Hiroshima y Nagasaki. La "ICAM" (Campaña Internacional para la abolición de las Armas Nucleares"- Premio Nobel de la Paz 2017- y la "IPPNW" (Asociación Internacional de Médicos para la Prevención de la Guerra Nuclear"-Premio Nobel de la Paz 1985- nos recuerdan que el mundo sigue lleno de armas nucleares y que puede ocurrir un accidente, en cualquier momento, de consecuencias terribles. Cada año, las potencias que tienen armas nucleares destinan aproximadamente ciento veinte mil millones de dólares en su puesta al día y mantenimiento. La superviviente japonesa Setsuko Thurlow, dio una conferencia en España, justo antes del inicio de la pandemia y sigue recorriendo todo el mundo, para recordarnos el peligro terrible de las armas nucleares. La hibridadora española Matilde Ferrer, ha creado, una rosa dedicada a Setsuko y esa rosa se plantará en un jardín de Madrid en septiembre de 2021, como homenaje a las víctimas de los bombardeos nucleares y recuerdo del peligro que suponen para toda la humanidad, las armas nucleares. Hablamos de todo esto, con Belén Yuste, del área de Cultura y Ciencia del Hospital 12 de octubre de Madrid y con el médico costarricense Carlos Umaña, representante de "ICAM" y vicepresidente de "IPPNW". Sole Giménez, continúa reivindicando el papel de las mujeres creadoras, tan poco reconocido en diferentes sectores y especialmente en el mundo de la música. Ahora nos presenta su nuevo trabajo: "Mujeres de Música-Vol.2". Este nuevo disco sigue la estela de su antecesor, "Mujeres de Música" publicado en 2019. Sole sigue mostrándonos a diferentes creadoras, injustamente olvidas o directamente poco conocidas y en esta nueva entrega añade, además, el reto de estar grabado en vivo, en una sola toma, recogiendo la magia del momento en el que todos los músicos interpretan cada tema. Éste es el décimo disco de la carrera en solitario de Sole Giménez y ha invitado a varias compañeras para rendir un sentido homenaje a grandes maestras compositoras. Con "Rozalén" interpreta el himno escrito por la argentina Eladia Blázquez "Honrar la Vida"; con Bely Basarte dan nueva vida a la composición de la autora mexicana María Grever, "Te Quiero, dijiste" (Muñequita Linda) y con su hija "Alba Engel" interpreta el tema "Volver" de Carolina de Juan ("Morgan"). Hablamos con Sole de este nuevo disco y de sus 30 años en la música. Escuchar audio

Dr. Rudolf Virchow, one of the founders of scientific medicine, said that "Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing more than medicine on a large scale." Beyond caring for the sick, doctors have played an important role in calling attention to the social determinants of health. International physicians for the prevention of nuclear war (IPPNW) played a pivotal role in the cessation of atmospheric nuclear weapons testing at the height of the cold war. This anti-weapons activism later came to be directed towards civilian nuclear energy by the likes of anti-nuclear crusader Dr. Helen Caldicott who is well known for her unwillingness to back up her outlandish claims with scientific evidence. Doctors for Nuclear Energy is a new international group of physicians who argue that nuclear energy is a keystone technology for the elimination of air pollution and CO2 emissions. Co-founders Dr. Van Der Merwe and Dr. Keefer share their perspectives on relative risk assessment, radiophobia and its public health consequences and our clean energy future. https://www.patreon.com/decouple?fan_landing=true https://www.doctorsfornuclearenergy.org/

Physician, author, and Nobel Prize-winning peace activist Bernard Lown will discuss his new memoir, Prescription for Survival: A Doctor's Journey to End Nuclear Madness. The inventor of the defibrillator, Dr. Lown was also a peace and anti-nuclear activist, participating in the founding of Physicians for Social Responsibility in 1960 and of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War in 1981. In 1985, IPPNW was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Dr. Lown is currently Professor of Cardiology Emeritus at the Harvard School of Public Health.

In this two-part program, Peace Talks Radio salutes "Peacemaking Elders"- people who, well into their eighties, are still working for peace. Our guests in Part One are Juanita Nelson and Ruth Imber. Juanita and Wally Nelson were among the first to take the step of refusing to pay taxes to the government because they did not want their tax dollars to go to military spending. Starting in 1948, they lived simply below the taxable income line and were active in civil rights and social justice movements. Wally Nelson died in 2002 at the age of 93. Juanita Nelson, now 85, continues on her own, living in the house she and Wally Nelson built together from salvaged material. She has no electricity, no plumbing, and grows her own food on a small tract of land in western Massachusetts. Juanita Nelson is one of our guests. Ruth Imber, 83, is a fixture in the peace and justice community in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She's a poet, writer and singing member of the "Raging Grannies." Carol Boss hosts the conversation with these two inspiring women. Our Part Two guest is Dr. Bernard Lown, who co-founded International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) and Physicians for Social Responsibility. In 1985, despite active opposition from the U.S. government and NATO, he and a Soviet cardiologist colleague, Evgeni Chazov, accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of IPPNW. Now 87, Lown has written Prescription for Suvival: A Doctor's Journey to End Nuclear Madness. He talks with Peace Talks Radio producer Paul Ingles.
