Last time we spoke about the fall of Shuri. In the unforgiving terrain of Okinawa during May 1945, American Marines confronted fierce resistance from entrenched Japanese forces. Amidst heavy rain and dwindling supplies, General Buckner's 10th Army battled uphill toward Shuri, a critical stronghold. With communication crumbling and morale wavering, the Americans pressed on, launching daring patrols. The situation reached a turning point when intelligence revealed the Japanese withdrawal plans. Buckner ordered continuous pressure, leading to the capture of significant strategic points like Shuri Castle, which was relentlessly bombarded prior to the Marine assault. On May 29, as the last remnants of Japanese forces fled south, American soldiers swept through Shuri, which lay in utter ruin, a testament to the devastating power of the campaign.  This episode is the Liberation of Mindanao Welcome to the Pacific War Podcast Week by Week, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

As we last saw, the Japanese retreat from the Shuri line opened the path for General Buckner's 10th Army to move southward, with only General Fujioka's 62nd Division and a few minor rearguards standing in their way. On June 3, General Arnold's 7th Division continued its offensive to the south. Colonel Pachler's 17th Regiment successfully secured the area of Itokazu. Meanwhile, Colonel Green's 184th Regiment pushed toward the coast to completely cut off the Chinen Peninsula. Colonel Finn's 32nd Regiment was diverted into the rugged hills nearby to clean up any remaining resistance. To the west, despite persistent bad weather and challenging supply conditions, General Bradley's 96th Division also achieved success. Colonel May's 383rd Regiment secured the locations of Kamizato and Tera against relatively light resistance. At the same time, Colonel Halloran's 381st Regiment advanced to seize the entire Inasomi area. Looking northwest, General Del Valle's 1st Marine Division encountered stronger opposition. The bulk of the 5th Marines managed to push only as far as Tsukasa before being pinned down. In a strategic move, Colonel Griebel's 2nd Battalion executed a wide swing through May's rear area to capture the Gisushi region. Colonel Snedeker's 7th Marines made steady progress through the Kokuba Valley, facing small enemy blocking forces, in order to extend the line held by the 5th Marines. Meanwhile, at sea, Admiral Ugaki launched his 9th mass Kikisui attack. This operation, featuring just 50 kamikaze aircraft, faced heavy obstacles due to Typhoon Viper but still managed to damage 2 vessels. In another development, after successfully occupying Torishima Island on May 12, Colonel Clarence Wallace's 8th Marines landed on Iheyajima without encountering any opposition. In addition, preparations for the shore-to-shore assault of General Shepherd's 6th Marine Division were completed. Colonel Shapley's 4th Marines were set to land on the Nishikoku beaches before securing the Oroku Peninsula and its airfield. Consequently, during the early hours of June 4, Shepherd's Reconnaissance Company successfully assaulted Ono-Yama Island, while Shapley's assault battalions began the shore-to-shore movement to Nishikoku under the cover of artillery and naval bombardment. Despite some mechanical failures on the LVTs, the Marines successfully landed at 06:00 under sporadic machine-gun fire and then pushed onto the high ground 300 yards inland against minor resistance. After securing the initial foothold, the attack slowed against increasing resistance on the left flank. Because of this, the reserve 3rd Battalion was landed at 08:45 and subsequently advanced to the edge of the airdrome.  During the day development of the enemy's defense had revealed an inordinate number of automatic weapons, ranging in various calibers up to 40mm. Subsequently, it was disclosed that the Japanese had stripped the armament from the air defenses and damaged aircraft in the area and integrated these weapons into the ground fortifications to stiffen materially the resistance on Oroku. Besides meeting with the most extensive mine fields yet encountered during the campaign, on this day the 6th Division had its first contact with an awesome weapon: an 8-inch rocket that exploded with terrific concussion. However, there was little fragmentation and accuracy was poor. While the noise the huge projectiles made, tumbling through the air end over end, sounded "like a locomotive from hell" to the troops, the rockets were mainly a source of annoyance and caused few casualties. Rockets continued to fall in the rear areas during the night, snipers and infiltrators were active, and the entire front came under intermittent heavy mortar fire. This landing allowed Shepherd to bring in Colonel Whaling's 29th Marines by midday, which then secured the Kikibana area of Naha Bay, while the 4th Marines captured one-third of Naha's airfield. To the east, the Americans encountered less resistance than before, as the 62nd Division and other minor rearguards completed their withdrawal from the intermediate lines south of Shuri to a reserve area south of the new Kiyamu Peninsula lines. Recognizing this change, Buckner shifted the corps boundary to the west, assigning General Geiger's 3rd Amphibious Corps the task of isolating the Oroku Peninsula and occupying the Itoman-Kunishi sector, while General Hodge's 24th Corps advanced toward the Yaeju Dake-Yuza Dake escarpment.  As a result, the 7th Marines were able to move south to seize Takanyuta and isolate Admiral Ota's forces on the Oroku Peninsula. The atrocious weather had converted the already muddy roads to impassable morasses. Transport was hopelessly mired north of the Kokuba Gawa. South of the river the "trails were only negotiable by foot troops, vehicles could not have been used" even if it had been possible to bring them across the inlet. The 5th Marines managed to secure the Hill 107 area without opposition before being relieved by Colonel Mason's 1st Marines. However, the 1st Marines were unable to continue their push south toward Shindawaku Ridge due to a flooded stream. Meanwhile, Mason's 3rd Battalion attempted a wide envelopment through the 96th Division zone but was quickly halted in front of Tera. Food was scarce, but through the wholehearted cooperation of the 96th Division the Marines procured two meals of K rations per man. It was the considered opinion of at least one member of 3/1 that "this day probably was the most miserable spent on Okinawa by men of this battalion." To compound these problems and discomforts, the 3d Battalion also found itself without a supply route or communications with the regiment 11,000 yards to the rear. Further east, the 383rd Regiment advanced rapidly, engaging isolated but strong enemy delaying groups as they secured the outskirts of Iwa. Matching this progress, the 381st Regiment advanced all the way to the hills north of Aragusuku, facing steadily increasing resistance. Additionally, while the 17th Regiment established positions controlling the Minatoga-Meka road, the 184th Regiment advanced against patchy and ineffective resistance until the Minatoga area was secured. The following morning, Admiral McCain's Task Force 38 launched strikes on Okinawa and Kyushu. Unfortunately, poor situational awareness from Admiral Halsey caused the 3rd Fleet to inadvertently enter Typhoon Viper. This storm inflicted varying degrees of damage to four carriers, two escort carriers, three cruisers, one destroyer, and one tanker, while also destroying 76 planes. Additionally, kamikaze attacks succeeded in damaging the battleship Mississippi and heavy cruiser Louisville. Back on Okinawa, Shepherd's attack on the Oroku Peninsula commenced and progressed slowly but steadily against uniformly stubborn resistance. The 4th Marines secured most of the airfield and the Toma high ground, while the 29th Marines fought laboriously to advance toward Mura and Oroku, gaining up to 1,000 yards. To the east, the 7th Marines advanced to positions just north of Hanja, while the 1st Marines bypassed the inundated area in front of them by swinging east and following their 3rd Battalion toward Iwa. In fact, Mason's 3rd Battalion launched another attack aimed at Shindawaku Ridge, advancing over 3,000 yards to the area west of Iwa. Despite muddy conditions and rainy weather, Hodge's infantrymen continued to penetrate the enemy outpost zone, developing the edges of the main Japanese battle position. The outpost line of Kiyamu Peninsula was fully manned on June 4. Japanese Army headquarters estimated that the strength of its now concentrated forces totaled 30000, distributed as follows: 24th Division and attached units, 12000; 62nd Division and attached units, 7000; 44th IMB and attached units, 3000; 5th Artillery Command and attached units, 3000; and units directly under 32nd Army command, 5000. The difference in total strength between the 50000-man estimate late in May and the 30000 left in Kiyamu Peninsula was attributed to "attrition during retirement operations." Only about 20% of the remaining troops were survivors of the original crack infantry-artillery units; the rest were untrained rear echelon personnel or Boeitai. Most senior commanders at battalion level and above were still alive, however, and capable of bolstering the fighting spirit of their motley collection of men. But the 32nd Army had suffered grievous losses in weapons and equipment since L-Day. Hand grenades and explosives were almost entirely expended. 4 out of every 5 machine guns had been destroyed, and the supply of heavy infantry cannon and mortars had been reduced to the vanishing point. Despite the fact that 2 150mm guns, 16 150mm howitzers, and 10 AAA guns had been successfully withdrawn to the Kiyamu battle position, artillery ammunition levels were insufficient for more than 10 days of sustained firing. General Ushijima's 32nd Army was in desperate straits, its destruction merely a question of time, but the tradition, discipline, and indoctrination of Japanese military forces promised only a violent, last-ditch, man-to-man struggle before the battle for Okinawa was ended. By June 6, the 7th Division reached the outskirts of Gushichan, and the 96th Division advanced toward Shindawaku and Tomui. To the west, the 1st Marines finally captured Shindawaku and cleared the bypassed area behind them. Meanwhile, the 7th Marines attacked toward Hill 108, advancing 1,000 yards before encountering stiff resistance and ultimately dug in around Dakiton. Additionally, Colonel Roberts' 22nd Marines arrived to contain the Oroku Peninsula in the Hill 103 sector. Although the 29th Marines and Shapley's 1st Battalion made little progress in the Oroku-Mura area due to strong enemy resistance. Meanwhile the terrain confronting the 3rd Battalion there "consisted of a series of small temple-like hills, each of which had been converted into a fortress . . . from which mutually supporting automatic weapons could cover adjacent positions and deny the open ground between the hills." These gun positions were well dug-in and impervious to artillery fire. Because the narrow roads in the area had been made impassable by mines and shell cratering, tank support was not forthcoming, and a day of bitter fighting netted 3/29 a gain of a scant 150 yards. The remainder of the 4th Marines attacked Naha Airfield where counter fire from tanks, artillery, and support craft was immediately laid down. An urgent call for an air strike on the island was answered in less than half an hour, and "as rack after rack of bombs fell on the Nip positions, the troops stood up and cheered." The artillery piece was soon silenced, but 20mm fire was received spasmodically. Nevertheless, 3/4 pressed forward with its open flank covered by continued air strikes on Senaga Shima and completed the capture of Naha airfield before noon, whence they pushed south toward Gushi. At sea, kamikaze attacks crashed into and damaged two destroyer minesweepers, while also causing further damage to escort carrier Natoma Bay and destroyer Anthony on June 7. That day, Shepherd's Marines faced stiff resistance all along the front. The 4th Marines reduced Little Sugar Loaf where stiff resistance and bitter fighting characterized the action in the center and on the left of the 4th Marines' area. However, the attack forged ahead against machine-gun fire coming "from everywhere," while "countless caves were methodically cleaned out and sealed by the old process of direct fire, flame, and demolitions."Meanwhile the 29th Marines entered Oroku, and the 22nd Marines captured Hill 103 and the area south of Tamigusuki.  To the southeast, the 7th Marines overran Hanja and Hill 108, ultimately digging in just north of Zawa and linking up with the 1st Marines, which also advanced up to 1,200 yards as they secured Hill 75 and pushed toward Yuza. Further east, the primary offensive efforts of the 7th and 96th Divisions on June 7 and 8 were focused on probing enemy defenses and advancing assault battalions to more favorable positions for an attack. Additionally, by the afternoon of June 8, the 32nd Regiment successfully relieved the exhausted 184th in the Gushichan area. On that same day, the 1st Marines pressed forward to the high ground overlooking the Mukue River, while the 7th Marines moved through Zawa and began probing enemy positions in Itoman, encountering stiffened resistance. The first LVT's, supported by LVTa's, arrived at the newly-uncovered beaches at noon on 8 June, and shortly thereafter General Hodge sent General del Valle "congratulations for cutting the island in two." Meanwhile, on Oroku, the 29th Marines made little progress as they stalled at a key ridgeline on the left. The 4th Marines committed all three of their battalions to the attack, successfully securing the areas of Hill 39 and Gushi Ridge. The 22nd Marines continued to pivot on their right, seizing Hill 55 and making good progress along the front toward Chiwa and Tomigusuki. On June 9, although the 22nd Marines managed to secure Hill 55 and push to Hill 28, little advancement was achieved to the north. Concurrently, the 4th Marines were able to slowly push to the outskirts of Chiwa and Uibaru, with patrols clearing out Chiwa and Whaling's 3rd Battalion extending the front to the north. The action in the zone of the 4th Marines on 9 June remained unchanged from that of preceding days: “The advance was still slow and tedious against bitter resistance. Every Jap seemed to be armed with a machine gun, and there was still the same light and heavy mortar fire. Casualties continued to mount and the number of Japs killed soared over the maximum of 1500 which were supposed to be defending and there were still plenty left.” In the meantime, to the south, Del Valle sent strong patrols across the Mukue, which began to encounter significant enemy resistance. Consequently, the 7th Marines were unable to push toward Tera and Itoman. Further east, Hodge finally launched a corps attack to the south. The 96th Division focused its efforts on softening the enemy positions on the escarpment in front of them, while the 7th Division carried out the offensive. The 32nd Regiment attempted to attack the eastern end of Hill 95 but was unsuccessful; however, they managed to locate and identify the most troublesome sources of enemy fire for destruction. On a more positive note, the 17th Regiment gained a precarious foothold on the southern end of Yaeju Dake, just north of Nakaza, where they would withstand several Japanese counterattacks throughout the night. The first and greatest obstacle confronting Wallace's attack was the open ground over which both assault companies had to move. Wallace used all available support and the men camouflaged themselves with grass and rice plants, but enemy fire began almost as soon as the leading platoons moved into the open. The infantrymen crawled through the slimy rice paddies on their stomachs. Within an hour Company I was strung from the line of departure to the base of the objective which two squads had reached. About this time the Japanese opened fire with another machine gun, separating the advance squads with a band of fire. This left one squad to continue the attack; the remainder of the company was unable to move, cut off by fire or strung across the rice paddies. Those men in the squad still free to operate lifted and pulled each other to the edge of the cliff and crawled quietly forward through the high grass on top. Pfc. Ignac A. Zeleski, a BAR man, moved so stealthily that he almost touched the heels of one Japanese. Zeleski killed him, and the other men killed eight more Japanese within the first ten minutes. Another squad reached the top of the escarpment about an hour later but was caught in cross and grazing fire from three machine guns, and the entire 8-man squad was killed. Gradually, however, a few more men reached the top, and by evening there were twenty men from Company I holding a small area at the escarpment rim. Company K had a similar experience. Accurate enemy fire killed one man, wounded two others, and halted the company when it was from 200 to 300 yards from its objective. For forty-five minutes the attack dragged on until S/Sgt. Lester L. Johnson and eight men maneuvered forward through enemy fire, gained the high ground, and concentrated their fire on the enemy machine gun that was firing on the remainder of the company. This did not silence the gun but did prevent the gunner from aiming well, and Johnson waved for the rest of the company to follow. By 1330 of 9 June Company K was consolidated on the southeastern tip of the Yaeju-Dake. That evening, three small but determined counterattacks, with sustained grenade fire between each attempt, hit the small force from Company I, which held off the attackers with a light machine gun and automatic rifles. Additionally, Wallace's 1st Battalion successfully landed unopposed on Aguni Island to establish air warning and fighter director installations.  However, it's now time to leave Okinawa and shift our focus to the Philippines to cover the continuation of General Eichelberger's Mindanao Campaign. As we last saw, by May 3, General Sibert's 10th Corps had successfully invaded the island and secured the key Kabacan road junction. General Woodruff's 24th Division occupied Digos and Davao, while General Martin's 31st Division advanced up the Sayre Highway toward Kibawe. Thanks to the arrival of the 162nd Regiment from Zamboanga, the 31st Division was now able to send another regiment, the 155th, to assist in the push north against General Morozumi's 30th Division. In response to the rapid advance of the 31st Division as far as Kibawe, Morozumi was assembling his units at Malaybalay in preparation for a retreat eastward to the Agusan Valley. He dispatched the 3rd Battalion of the 74th Regiment to the south to delay the Americans in the vicinity of Maramag, at least until May 10. Meanwhile, after capturing Davao, Woodruff's goal was to mop up the sector and destroy General Harada's 100th Division in the mountainous interior. The 100th Division located the southern anchor of its defenses at Catigan, 13 miles southwest of Davao, and the northern anchor in hills some twelve miles north of Davao. The Davao River, flowing generally south-southeast into Davao Gulf at Davao, divided the defensive forces into two groupments. The Right Sector Unit, west of the river, was composed of 5 infantry battalions, 3 regular and 2 provisional. The territory east of the river was the responsibility of the Left Sector Unit--2 regular infantry battalions, 2 provisional battalions, and the Air Force's Hosono Unit of ill-armed service personnel. The Right and Left Sector Units had a little artillery attached, for General Harada kept under his direct control most of the artillery as well as many engineer and service units. As a reserve Harada had about a battalion of regular infantry. The central and strongest portion of Harada's defenses rested its right on rising ground overlooking Libby Airdrome, two miles northwest of Talomo on the coast. From this point the central defenses, along which Harada initially deployed three battalions, extended eastward across the Talomo River and some rough hills to the west bank of the Davao River. The focal point of the central defenses was Mintal, four miles up Route 1-D from Talomo. Anticipating ultimate withdrawal into the mountains via Route 1-D, the southeastern section of the so-called Kibawe-Talomo trail, Harada had prepared defenses in depth along the highway and along ancillary roads paralleling it. Much of the region west of the Davao River from Talomo northwest twelve miles to Calinan was covered with overgrown abaca, or hemp, plantations. Resembling banana plants, and growing to a height of about 20 feet, the abaca plants had originally been planted in rows 10 feet apart, with 10 feet between plants. With harvesting slack during the war, the plantations had become thick with shoots, and older plants had grown to a foot or so in diameter. Plants of various sizes were, in April 1945, scarcely a foot apart. Visibility was virtually nil, and the heat at the hemp plantations was like that of an oven. With the 162nd Regiment taking control of Digos and the area stretching from Illana Bay's shores inland to Kabacan, Woodruff was now free to utilize his entire division to engage the enemy forces in the Davao area. At the start of May, the 21st Regiment had already launched an attack to clear Libby Airdrome, Route 1-D between Mintal and Talomo, and Mintal itself. They successfully reached Mintal by May 3, effectively forcing Harada to reinforce his defenses near the Talomo River. Although the airdrome was cleared two days later, subsequent efforts up Route 1-D toward Mintal were repelled by fiercely defending Japanese forces. Due to this resistance, elements of the 34th Regiment attempted to drive north along the high ground on the east bank of the Talomo River to bypass the Japanese defenses on Route 1-D. On May 8, the 21st Regiment finally crossed to the east side at Mintal; however, in the face of Japanese artillery, mortar, and machine-gun fire, they had to withdraw back to the west bank two days later. At the same time, the 19th Regiment was expanding its hold in the Davao area, striking into the high ground controlling the coast road immediately west of the Davao River on May 10. They also cleared scattered Japanese strongpoints on hills just north of Davao and on Samal Island. Two days later, the 21st Regiment again attacked northward along the east bank of the Talomo, successfully clearing out numerous positions from which the Japanese had directed fire on Route 1-D. By May 14, the highway all the way north to Mintal was finally secured. In the meantime, the 124th Regiment started north from Kibawe on May 6. However, the recently arrived Japanese defenders at Maramag managed to delay the occupation of this town until May 12, thus accomplishing their task more than adequately. Despite this success, Eichelberger had shrewdly sensed that Morozumi would attempt to make a last stand in the hills northwest of Davao. Therefore, he decided to land the 108th Regiment behind enemy lines in the Macajalar Bay area to expedite the conquest of Mindanao and open a new supply route to the 31st Division. Accordingly, on May 10, the 108th Regiment landed unopposed along the southeastern shore of Macajalar Bay, making contact almost immediately with guerrilla units operating in the region. This regiment then drove down the Sayre Highway to meet the 31st Division advancing from the south, encountering no significant resistance until May 13, when it faced strong Japanese defenses near Dalirig. With its rear protected by the recently landed 3rd Battalion of the 164th Regiment, the 108th proceeded to attack the enemy positions with great intensity, finally forcing the Japanese to retreat to the area east of Malaybalay by May 16. Concurrently, on May 13, the 155th Regiment passed through the 124th Regiment to continue the drive northward, meeting little opposition but facing supply problems. By May 20, the Americans finally reached the outskirts of Malaybalay, where fire from remnants of the 30th Field Artillery Regiment halted their advance. Realizing that the regiment could not haul its weapons into the mountains east of Malaybalay, Morozumi had left the unit at Malaybalay to fight a rear-guard action, which was successful in keeping the 155th Infantry out of the town until late on 21 May. On 22 and 23 May the 155th continued up Sayre Highway, encountering elements of Morozumi's Northern Sector Unit that had not learned that American troops had reached Malaybalay and were still withdrawing southward to join the 30th Division's main body. Pressed by troops of the 108th Infantry, 40th Division, which had already landed at Macajalar Bay, the retreating forces gave the 155th Infantry little trouble and, about 1400 on 23 May, the 155th made contact with the 108th Infantry near Impalutao, twelve miles northwest of Malaybalay. Its share in the task of clearing Sayre Highway cost the 31st Division approximately 90 men killed and 250 wounded, while the 108th Infantry, 40th Division, lost roughly 15 men killed and 100 wounded. Together, the two units killed almost 1,000 Japanese during their operations along the highway, and captured nearly 25 more. Nevertheless, the 30th Division had managed to escape east this time to establish new positions near Silae. Back in Davao, on May 15, Woodruff directed the 21st and 34th Regiments to attack abreast to the north and northwest, targeting the Japanese center. Meanwhile, the 19th Regiment advanced north to clear the northeastern shores of Davao Gulf, link up with the guerrilla forces north of the gulf, and ultimately swing westward against the 100th Division's left flank forces. Surprised by the lack of enemy attacks against his flanks, Harada concluded that the American forces intended to neglect his flanks in favor of a frontal assault on his center. As a result, he weakened the defenses of the Left Sector Unit to reinforce the Mintal line, leaving only Admiral Doi's air-naval troops to defend his left flank. On May 17, Woodruff renewed his offensive. The 19th Regiment struck north to establish contact with the guerrilla 107th Division, while the 34th Regiment began clearing the coastal hills between the Talomo and Davao Rivers and attacked northwest toward Tugbok. The 21st Regiment also drove north toward Tugbok in the face of determined opposition. Progress in the following days was slow due to intense artillery, machine-gun, rocket, mortar, and rifle fire. However, by May 27, the 21st Regiment seized the Tugbok area, with the 34th Regiment arriving the next day to relieve them. As Harada's strongest defenses had been breached, he ordered a general withdrawal to a hastily established second line crossing Route 1-D in the vicinity of Ula. Furthermore, the 19th Regiment managed to establish contact with the guerrillas by May 24 as it secured Route 1 north of Davao. On May 29, the 19th Regiment struck westward toward Doi's Mandog defenses, closing in two days later to engage the naval troops in fierce combat. Concurrently, on May 30, the 34th Regiment attacked toward Ula, which fell easily the following day, though progress then slowed in the face of fanatic resistance. Reinforced by the recently arrived 3rd Battalion of the 163rd Regiment on June 4, the 34th began to make headway beyond Ula on the secondary road, gaining one mile by June 6 before swinging east toward Mandog. The next day, having overrun Doi's outer defenses, the 19th Regiment advanced steadily into the main positions near Mandog, which ultimately fell by June 9, just as the 34th was reaching the area. Continuing northward, the 34th was almost three miles north of Ula along both roads and found few signs of organized Japanese resistance by June 11. However, the 19th Regiment would not clear the hills north of Mandog until June 15. In the meantime, the 21st Regiment struck north from Lamogan on May 31 along secondary roads west of Route 1-D, ultimately seizing Wangan on June 16 and forcing Harada's battered forces to commence a full retreat northward in disarray. After the fall of Culanan three days later, Harada finally decided to retreat to a new line near the Bannos River. Yet Woodruff's troops continued to pursue them, rapidly crossing the Tamogan River and inflicting heavy casualties on the retreating enemy until they reached the mountain barrio of Kibangay on June 26, where the pursuit was finally halted. Looking back to the north, with Sayre Highway cleared, the 124th Regiment began probing into the mountains to the east in late May, encountering heavy resistance, rough terrain, bad weather, and supply problems. Nevertheless, by June 5, Morozumi abandoned his plan to hold the Silae area for a month and slowly began moving his best troops eastward toward Waloe in the Agusan River valley, harassed by Filipino guerrillas along the way. In the end, Silae was finally occupied on June 9, with troops of the 108th Regiment pushing further to the Bobonawan River four days later. Additionally, the 155th Regiment arrived on the Pulangi River on June 12, while elements of the 162nd Regiment struck twenty miles into the mountains east from Maramag by June 26. On June 25, the 1st Battalion of the 155th Regiment successfully landed on Butuan Bay and managed to reach Waloe before the Japanese on June 27, dispersing the 3rd Battalion of the 41st Regiment that was holding the area. However, the Japanese retreat was so slow that Morozumi was still assembling his forces about seven miles up the Agusan from Waloe by the end of the war.  Far to the northwest, units of the 31st Division had been probing southeast along the upper section of the Kibawe-Talomo trail ever since early May, and on the 11th of that month a battalion combat team of the 167th Infantry launched the reconnaissance-in-force directed by General Sibert.  Japanese along this section of the trail, about 1,000 men in all, comprised a conglomerate mass of service troops with a small leavening of infantry. Control was vested in General Tomochika, chief of staff of the 35th Army, who had set up a small headquarters groupment near barrio Pinamola, about twenty miles southeast of Kibawe. The Japanese force had a defensive potential far greater than its strength and nature would indicate, for the terrain gave the Japanese every conceivable advantage. Bounded on both sides by dense jungle and thick rain forest, the trail as far as Pinamola ran up and down steep ridges and was scarcely jeep-wide. Rains of late May soon rendered all sections of the trail completely impassable to wheeled vehicles, and supplies had to come in by airdrop, supplemented when possible by hand-carrying parties and laden Carabaos. The mud was so deep that often troops had to pull, push, or even jack the Carabaos out of gooey holes. Delayed by the Japanese, the terrain, and the weather, the 167th Infantry's battalion did not reach the Pulangi River, thirteen miles southeast of Kibawe, until 29 May.  Then, although the Japanese from the trail could no longer offer any threat to the 31st Division, the battalion continued south toward Pinamola, aided considerably by guerrillas. The remnants of the 1st Battalion, 74th Infantry, and the South Sector Unit, 30th Division, which had been driven into the mountains along Highway 3 by the swift American advance in central Mindanao had meanwhile been attached to Tomochika's forces early in June. Troops of the 167th Infantry finally reached Pinamola on 30 June as the remaining Japanese were withdrawing southward another eight miles to the crossing of the Kuluman River. Progress as far as Pinamola had cost the 167th Infantry approximately 60 men killed and 180 wounded, while the Japanese had lost almost 400 killed along the same section of the trail. Elements of the 167th Infantry held along the northwestern section of the Kibawe-Talomo trail until the end of the war, and as of 15 August the regiment was preparing to send troops across the Kuluman River to continue the advance southeastward. On that date nearly 30 miles of Japanese-improved trail, only 19 air miles--still separated the 167th Infantry from guerrilla units operating in the vicinity of Kibangay. Organized remnants of Harada's 100th Division holed up until the end of the war in rugged terrain north of this 30-mile stretch of the trail. Finally, the 24th Reconnaissance Troop successfully landed on the southeastern shore of Sarangani Bay on July 4 to establish contact with the guerrilla 116th Regiment, subsequently clearing the bay's shores against negligible resistance. On July 12, the 1st Battalion of the 21st Regiment landed on the northwest shore, just as two provisional battalions were arriving in the area from different directions. The three forces began to clear the area, successfully locating and destroying the only Japanese unit in the region by July 25. This concluded the campaign in Mindanao, during which the Americans suffered 820 men killed and 2,880 wounded. In turn, almost 10,540 Japanese were killed in eastern Mindanao by June 30, with the pursuing Filipino-American units killing another 2,325 Japanese by the war's end. Roughly 600 Japanese prisoners were captured, over 250 of whom were civilians, before August. After the war, about 22,250 Japanese troops and 11,900 civilians turned themselves in. It is also estimated that an additional 8,235 Japanese lost their lives due to starvation and disease between April and the war's end.

In the spring of 1945, the fierce battle for Okinawa escalated as General Buckner's troops captured crucial strongholds, pushing the Japanese forces into retreat. Meanwhile the liberation of Mindanao was kicking up. American forces launched a rapid invasion, confronting Japanese defenders who were heavily fortified in the mountainous regions. Despite the stubborn resistance, American troops relentlessly battled, ultimately culminating in significant victories and paving the way for liberation.

For Human Rights Day we're joined by Gurridyula Gaba Wunggu, Wangan & Jagalingou Traditional Custodian about Waddananggu.  Translated as 'The Talking', Waddananggu is a stone Bora ring and ceremonial ground opposite Adani's Carmichael coal mine where Wangan & Jagalingou people are asserting their human rights to practice culture.This ceremonial reoccupation that began on 26 August 2021 is using the Queensland Human Rights Act 2019, Section 28 to stand up against the destruction of Wangan & Jagalingou Country.  Gurridyula discusses the history of the fight against Adani and the government, how they are using Human Rights to protect country, some of the sacred sites that are under threat of destruction and how he is using music created on site at Waddananggu to spread the word in solidarity with other First Nations.Featuring the song Gee'd Up by Gurridyula.https://standing-our-ground.org 

This Friday we have Coedie McAvoy, Wangan / Jagalingu man joining us live via phone from the Waddananggu camp in central Queensland. The frontiers of climate crisis and First Nations dispossession are being pushed beyond their limits by the centuries old coalition of party political government and big business - once again. The Adani-Bravus mega coal mine at Carmichael is just the first of many planned for the galilee basin, laying down the infrastructure which can only lead to more intense climate chaos, expanding an industry with no future. Coedie will talk with us from Waddananggu, a cultural ceremony taking place across the road from Adani-Bravus's Carmichael Mine - the biggest coal mine in this continent's history.

CLIMATE ACTION RADIO SHOW  SEPTEMBER 12th 2022Produced by Vivien Langford THE DIRTY TRUTH ABOUT GREEN OPTIMISM I was alerted to the new gold rush for critical minerals by Gavin Mudd, Associate Professor in Environmental Engineering at RMIT University. We must not make the transition to renewable energy and electrifying everything without putting far more regulation on global mining. As Carlos Zorilla says from Ecuador"The voices calling for careful considerations of the impacts of a transition to ‘clean' energy are drowned by the misplaced optimism of a green future. Few are asking commonsense questions that, if not answered now could easily create a worse environmental disaster later – and even compound the climate crisis. The elephant in the room few want to acknowledge is the destruction of people and the environment that will result from the hunger for so-called green energy minerals – mainly copper, cobalt, nickel and lithium."In Chile Lithium is called the "white gold" Lithium Mining Is Leaving Chile's Indigenous Communities High and Dry (Literally) | NRDCand in Ecuador   our own Gina Rinehart is determined to extract copper from a fragile mountainous cloud forest.Rinehart's Roadblock in Ecuador - Friends of the Earth Australia (foe.org.au)Meanwhile the Climate Campaigners focussed on  stopping  new coal exports from Australia are very grateful to the Wangan and Jagalingou people.The Adani Carmichael mine is 9 months into operation with a huge slag heap rising up off their land and underground water already being sucked out to wash the coal. But they are not lying down on the rail tracks. Their dignified year long Waddanangu Ceremony is attracting indigenous and other visitors from all over the country.W&J have shown their intent to continue the ceremony and take their land back - you can sign up as a monthly donor to keep the sacred fire burning here. Moving news from EcuadorCarlos Zorilla won the Equator prize for  the protection, restoration and sustainable management of ecosystems that help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. He speaks to us from the Cloud Forest in Ecuador where  they are protecting  a wonderland of biodiversity.They have made two foreign mining companies back down but now are defending their land against the ravenous appetite for critical minerals used in electric vehicles and all the machinery of the renewables transition we have to make.One of the companies HANRINE is connected to Australian Gina Rinehart. Carlos Zorrilla | The EcologistThe dirty truth about clean energy by Carlos Zorrilla — Local Futures | by Local Futures | Local Futures — Economics of Happiness | Medium Thrilling news from Colombia: New anti extractivist Government promises strong climate action.The Vice President  Francia Marquez is already a veteran environmental warrior.

It sounded like a summit.Mining extracts gigalitres of water, leaved horrendous slag heaps and black voids. If the land rights laws lack teeth to prevent this, Coedie Mc Avoy and the Wangan and Jagalingou people are using the Human rights laws to occupy parts of their land for ceremony. Coral also talks about what she learned about the sacredness of this land. Trees where a person's placenta was buried become that person's responsibility. Imagine if all Australians were initiated into this level of care!On the eve of the anniversary a special First Nations panel was held on Wangan and Jagalingou Country to discuss the theme of resilience and reoccupation with some incredible speakers: Gwenda Stanley Gomeroi Cultural Ambassador - Tent Embassy, Josie Alec, Kuruma Marthudhunera Custodian, Burrup peninsula, DK- Fresh Water Yuggera man, Deebing creek (who have been reoccupying their homelands for 1000 days) and Wangan and Jagalingou Tribal elder Adrian Burragubba.

CLIMATE ACTION SHOW DECEMBER 6TH 2021Produced by Vivien LangfordCLIMATE JUSTICE FOR FIRST NATIONS The fall out from COP 26 means renewed determination to have a seat at the table and accountability to the people most affected. Meanwhile, despite 100 days of ceremony by the Wangan and Jagalingou people in the Galilee basin and going through all the formal channels, we are distressed that the Bravus- Carmichael mine continues to destroy.Elder Adrian Burruguba said  that  the area destroyed in December was " an ancient stone tool-making area that our people utilised for thousands of years,"https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-07/bravus-carmichael-mine-cultural-heritage-concerns-dismissed/100679496You can reach out to these water and land protectors if you see that they are the front line against the opening up of a massive coal basin, flying in the face of global necessity to stop emissions from coal oil and gas.  Watch the video first:https://wanganjagalingou.com.au/donate/US bank BNY Mellon cuts ties with Adani's Carmichael coalmine | Adani Group | The GuardianShowing the way forward we interview Karrina Nolan about the launch of the First Nations Clean Energy Network.  As one of their members, Tony Mc Avoy, a distinguished Native Title Silk says "Not only is  Australia failing to pull its weight internationally, but it's failing to ensure that the renewables boom is regulated in a manner that protects First Nations Rights and incentivises First Nations participation."We start with the resounding words of Barkindji Man Bruce Shillingsworth and the beautiful sounds of Samoan dancing. Then we hear about the Loss and damage negotiations in Glasgow with Siobhan Mc Donnel  and the youth voice at Cop 26 from Global Voices. You might also like to support the Pacific Calling Partnership.  https://www.erc.org.au/pcp None of these people is giving up and neither should we. The centrepiece of this podcast is the Clean Energy way forward explained by Karrina Nolan. Let's not let the next boom create as much injustice and environmental damage as the last one. There are so many First Nations people around the world holding the line for all of us.

We're much refreshed and back at it again after a week off. Luckily there was juuuust enough news for us to put together a show. There is a CW for one of our First Nations stories, which involves the name of an Indigenous man who has died at the hands of police. That segment runs from 45:50 - 50:05. This week we're serving up...   Aperitifs: Morrisons climate targets, COP21, and News Corps' new slightly pro-climate headlines  UFU: Victorian Labor are in trouble over branch stacking after Federal MP Anthony Byrne was questioned by IBAC this week. They also corruptly embezzled $14 000 worth of stamps. It's truly riveting stuff.  Positivity Corner: Queensland renters now are legally allowed to have a pet except in extreme circumstances.

What data does your farm generate? Where is it going? How could it make your farm more profitable? A research group at the University of Wisconsin – Madison aims to answer those questions. Their work is called the Dairy Brain project. In this episode, you'll hear from one of the researchers involved: Steve Wangan. He is a data scientist at the American Family Insurance Data Science Institute at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. He works with analytics and software development. The overarching goal of the Dairy Brain project is to take research that is done at the university and hook it up with farmers' data streams through a web interface so they can use it to help them make better decisions for their individual farms. You'll learn what are the most difficult obstacles to moving data from off the farm and why there is a need to agree to some data standardization for on-farm data entry.

Welcome back, this episode is brought to you by the letters; GTR.  Tonight I have on Charles Wong out of Vancouver, BC-CN (my third international poddy).  I've been a fan of Charles and his absolutely wild obsession with JDM sports cars with a polarizing eye always aimed at a GTR.  The R34 GTR to be specific is his thing, and theres no shortage of experiences gained as he's anti-low mileage, and anti-sitting-the-fuck-around.  We cover one of his R34 GTRs very throughly, I believe the one that represents his character and aura the most.  It's a blue car built to Charles' every requirement by the ever so legendary, Garage Saurus in Saitama, Japan.  This car has been tested on Tsukuba, a personal dream of his thanks to the beloved Gran Turismo franchise.  It has been across Japan, attended many PA meetings, trackdays and Wangan rides all with a British Columbia tag mounted on the back.  Oh, and we also cover the Garage Saurus 550M in brash detail :)This is good, listen.  Have a lovely night.Intro & exit track provided by the talented @ArifOmariandFranklin production squad.

On today's Radioactive Show we turn our focus to QLD where we speak with Miree LeRoy about some recent activities in the campaign to stop Adani's Carmichael mine. Currently under construction on Wangan and Jagalingou country in the Galilee Basin, the mine will become Austalia's largest coal mine if allowed to continue. We discuss various ways to get involved with the campaign:  Divestment information can be found at Market Forces, Stop Adani is a central coordinating point for the many groups taking action,  Frontline Action on Coal have been stopping work on Adani's railway corridorduring the last week also.  The Wangan and Jagalingou are not being listened to, stand in solidarity with the Traditional Custodians and please join us at the Online Rally: Respect Wangan & Jagalingou Human Rights, 6.30pm Monday 30th August. We also hear from Annette Brownlie chairperson of the Independent and Peaceful Australia Network speaking with Jacob Andrewartha (Green Left Weekly Radio) about the Talisman Sabre joint military exercises that saw 17,000 soldiers conduct war manoeuvres in the Great Barrier Reef reserve from July 18-31 and the consequences for the environment, public health and relationships in the Pacific region.

Climate Action Radio Show -  July 26th 2021Produced by Vivien LangfordREHYDRATING THE EARTH  Episode 2 on Ministry for the FutureGuests: Michal Kravcik -    People and Water, Slovakia — The Flow PartnershipNicky Chirlian and Craig Carter - Upper Mooki Rehydration Project — NSW Landcare GatewayDidi Pershouse - About - REHYDRATE CALIFORNIA. / (191) Can We Rehydrate California? (Didi Pershouse & Walter Jehne at Paicines Ranch, 2018) - YouTubePeter Vandilevoo - Song Fight for the Trees.Molly - Reading from Ministry for the Future about Rehydrating California Soil carbon sponges, perennial grasses, slowing down creeks, we will find out how rehydrating the land affects the climate crisis.This is episode 2 of our series inspired by Ministry for the Future. There are many climate solutions dramatised by Kim Stanley Robinson and just this week flood waters have been wiping out towns in Northern Europe, India and  Inner Mongolia.Floods - The Watchers.In the novel Molly reads about rehydrating farm lands. I thought I would go back to Water Engineer Michal Kravcik in Slovakia. He is all about permeable pavements and slowing down creeks rather than big dams.Then we talk to Craig Carter about how 13 landholders worked together to rehydrate the Upper Mooki Catchment in Northern NSW. Nicky Chirlian is the chair of the landcare group that implemented regenerative farming prionciples over a wide area.In Vermont Didi Pershouse speaks to us about how all this rehydration has a big role in sequestering carbon. She talks about the soil Carbon sponge which is demonstrated in her video above. She is dedicated to building the sorts of communities that work together and learn from indigenous land carers. Water Protection Action you can take:A vital water source for the Wangan and Jagalingou People is the Doongmabula springs. The Adani Carmichael coal mine will threaten its existence by siphoning out and polluting great volumes of water. Here is a letter from Adrian Burrugubba. Please write an email as he suggests. Friends, I need your support.Today I have written to the Honourable Meaghan Scanlon MP, Minister for Environment, to call for an immediate stop work order on construction of the Carmichael mine.I have asked her to intervene and support our human rights by ensuring that our lands and waters, and our sacred Doongmabulla Springs, are protected from Adani.You can help strengthen our demands.Please write to Minister Scanlon expressing your support for the W&J cultural custodians and our call for immediate action to protect our sacred Doongmabulla Springs. Email her at environment@ministerial.qld.gov.au - and please Cc us at wanganandjagalingousog@gmail.com so we can see your messages too.The Queensland Government has so far failed to address our call for urgent action. We have raised the dire warning about the threat to our sacred springs - a place of profound cultural heritage to us. We fear that the very large volume of water extraction by Adani that is now evident has already locked in future environmental damage to our sacred site. The Department of Environment and Science concluded its investigation into our complaint with “no further action will be taken”, despite the evidence we provided about the harm being done to the Doongmabulla Springs.Adani continues to act with impunity and our lands and waters are in peril. We have raised many times that the Adani mine breaches our human rights - as there was no free, prior, and informed consent for the issuing of the mining leases - and that our lands and waters are in peril. The Government is now responsible for the terrible impacts occurring on our Country and to our sacred sites. You can help us change this. We have asked the Minister to meet with us and ensure four things happen. Let her know you support -A ‘Stop Work' on the mine until our sacred Doongmabulla Springs are protectedIndependent verification of the results of the department's investigation into our complaintA comprehensive, independent, scientific review to help protect the water and the springsThe right of our cultural custodians' group to hold Adani to account for its destruction of our lands and watersWe must act urgently! The very large volume of water being extracted by Adani is locking in future environmental damage to our sacred site. This can only get worse. Please donate to support the work of the W&J Nagana Yarrbayn Cultural Custodians.We know from experience and history that the consequences for our people will be severe, causing ongoing loss of connection to Country and to our culture, intergenerational trauma, grief, and psychological harm.Our culture is inseparable from our lands and waters, including groundwater. Where the groundwater flows to the surface, at the Doongmabulla Springs, is our most sacred site. Mining our land and extracting our groundwater denies us our right to enjoy, maintain and protect our culture and traditional stories. We need you to help ensure that we are not subjected to forced destruction of our culture. We are building new legal arguments to defend our human rights and protect the water. Please help us in this work.We need your support to bring new legal challenges to defend our human rights. With your support we will pursue all avenues to protect our cultural rights and our lands and waters.To see more about the W&J cultural custodians and how we are standing our ground, visit our website and FaceBook page. Yours for Country. Adrian BurragubbaWangan and Jagalingou tribal leader& W&J Nagana Yarrbayn senior cultural custodian

BUSINESS COLLAPSE and TRANSITION FILM FESTIVAL17th February 2020. Andy Britt -Production Vivien Langford - InterviewsPaul Gilding - Author of Climate Contagion 2020-2025Heidi Lee - BZE Business and Industry ManagerJulian O'Shea - Film "Solar Tuk" Bob Brown -  Film "Convoy"Bruce Shillingsworth - Film " When the rivers run dry"Christine MIlne - Ambassador for International GreensAt the Climate Emergency Summit 14/15th Feb, Paul Gilding showed that the threat of collapsing Fossil Fuel businesses will match the climate disruptions we are already facing. Ian Dunlop, whose association with Shell and the Coal Industry gives us an inside view , said they are engaged in "predatory delay" and must shut down within 2 years. Christine Milne saw signs at Davos of the corporations positioning themselves for bail outs.We ask : Are they too big to fail? Will we let them take us down with them? Please sign the declaration.Meanwhile Heidi Lee is helping business and industry to re imagine themselves using non fossil energy, yes even  green steel. She waxes lyrical over Arc Furnaces and takes us to where things are really molten.  As Simon Holmes a Court said "there is a war on for talent" as coal, oil and gas struggle to find young people who want to work on climate wrecking projects. Heidi is recruiting volunteer engineers to work on projects that leave something to be proud of.Transitions Film Festival starts this week and we speak to Julian O'shea about why he modified a second hand Tuk Tuk to make it go on solar power. He's just been on a tour in India and Thailand. It's a cheaper vehicle than most EVs and will reduce the urban pollution as it beetles about town at 50km p/h. The film Solar Tuk Tuk shows on opening night at the NOVAWe hear Bob Brown calling us to stop  the coal trucks, lock the gates against gas and get in the way of logging in the Tarkine. He calls us Bravehearts and the film "Convoy" celebrates the brave people putting themselves in the way of climate disruptors. He was on the platform beside Adrian Burrugubba of the Wangan and Jagalingou people in the Galilee.Bruce Shillingsworth comes from western NSW where the Darling/ Baarka river is being robbed of its waters. First Nations people feel abandoned and do not acccept the poor conditions that have left them high and dry and have caused widespread deaths of fish and wildlife. He wishes to unify Australians in the restoration of the rivers and the land. You can see it yourself and be part of the discussion, when the film "When the rivers run dry" shows at the  NOVA

L’Associazione per i Popoli Minacciati (APM) fa notare che parte di quella che sarà la più grande miniera di carbone al mondo si trova su terreni appartenenti alle tribù Wangan e Jagalingou. Le due tribù combattono il progetto dal punto di vista legale da decenni.Se la miniera dovesse entrare in funzione come previsto, l’impatto sulle tribù Wangan e Jagalingou sarà catastrofico, poiché l’inquinamento diretto causato dal funzionamento della miniera non inquina solo il loro habitat. Il gestore della miniera prevede di prelevare 12,5 miliardi di litri d’acqua all’anno dal vicino fiume Suttor. Inoltre l’estrazione del carbone si svolgerà in parte in terra sacra, le cui piante e animali sono culturalmente estremamente importanti per queste persone. È uno scandalo che lo Stato abbia cancellato ai Wangan e i Jagalingou i titoli che garantivano loro il possesso delle loro terre ancestrali.L’Australia ha ratificato la Dichiarazione delle Nazioni Unite sui diritti dei popoli indigeni nel 2009. Questa stabilisce chiaramente che le popolazioni indigene interessate devono dare il loro previo consenso esplicito a qualsiasi intervento nel loro territorio ancestrale.

In questa situazione, la progettazione della più grande miniera di carbone al mondo, che consumerebbe anche miliardi di litri d’acqua ogni anno, è stata oggetto di aspre critiche internazionali. Gli esperti si aspettano inoltre che anche la vicina Grande Barriera Corallina, già colpita dal cambiamento climatico, venga ulteriormente inquinata dal funzionamento della miniera.

 2019 The climate action year in roundupProduction: Andy BrittInterviews by Vivien Langford and Kurt Johnson As we face over a hundred Bushfires in Australia, the Madrid Climate Conference carries on and some Extinction Rebels go on hunger fast in order to get commitments from parliamentarians, we look at some of the campaigns that are hot at the end of 2019. Vanessa Petrie CEO of BZE talks about Australia's first Zero Carbon Factory. What we could do with 700% renewable energy and the groundswell of job creation in coal country.  Naomi Hogan from Lock the Gate Alliance defends the Traditional Owners of the Beetaloo Basin in NT. They are protecting their land against gas fracking. We can stand up with them for our future, especially if we are customers of gas companies.  Rev Alex Sangster takes us to the frontlines of resistance to Adani. The sacred springs of the Wangan and Jagalingou people are now "owned" by Adani and she calls out to us to go up to the Galilee and stand with them.  Daniel Bleakley speaks to Vivien on the steps of parliament. Surrounded by 27 empty plates to symbolise the meals he has missed over 9 days he draws attention to the hunger already felt where the climate crisis hits   our most vulnerable people. Which politicians will stop and listen to this eloquent messenger? He is part of a global hunger strike by Extinction Rebellion.   Jacinda Ardern the Prime Minister of New Zealand says we must move beyond targets and deliver signs of action. She launched her Zero Carbon Bill to a standing ovation. Thanks to Mik Aidt for the audio.                  "Jacinda Ardern hails New Zealand zero-carbon law: 'On the right side of history'"  Mark Carter is the author of "The Elephant in th sky" and has just launched a new group. Flight Free Australia. We talk about the effect of Greta Thunberg sailing to the USA and back. In extraordinary times we take extraordinary action.Its an ethical challenge we can rise to.Tommy John Herbert is a member of the MUA and a Sydney Wharfie. He talks about the dead Turtles and Fish he saw as a Seafarer as he supplied the gas rigs off Broome. His vision is for strike action to protect workers as they transition to servicing off shore wind and other necessary jobs that give us a better life.Wendy Farmer represents Voices of the Valley. She talks to Kurt Johnson about the Penalties being imposed on Engie for the Morwell mine fire of 2014. The responsibility of mine owners to protect the health of the community comes through loud and clear. Thanks to all our guests who made this show happen, to Beyond Zero Emissions and to Radio 3cr... and a big thanks to all of our listeners.

This week on the program we look at coal and coal fired power stations. We hear from Bronya Lipski, Environmental Justice Australia lawyer and author of recent report “Unearthing Australia’s toxic coal ash legacy” about the coal ash waste dumps that come with generating coal fired power and their impact on the community and environment. In the second part of the program we speak with Amy from Front Line Action on Coal for a report from the blockade camp against Adani’s proposed Carmichael coal mine on Wangan and Jagalingou land in the north of the Galilee Basin in central Queensland.

We chatted with Stephen Long who was the journalist on the ABC Four Corners program: Digging into Adani to get an idea for how the Adani Group operates and how it has performed financially, environmentally and legally in the past, particularly with its projects in India. Vivien recorded a speech by the Wangan and Jagalingou people about their battle upholding native title. And we spoke with Jenny Weber, the Campaign Manager at The Bob Brown Foundation, about the long running protest movement against the Carmichael mine that has come to define the climate change movement in Australia, about how it has evolved to combat changing tactics by the Adani group. 

The highly contested Adani Carmichael mine proposal received approval for their groundwater management plan on the eve of the federal election being called. Today on the Radioactive Show we bring you recordings of the speeches at the final event in the Stop Adani Convoy as they arrived at Parliament House on Sunday 5th May.   We’ll hear speeches given by spokesperson for the Wangan and Jagalingou Family Council Adrian Burragubba, school climate strikers Tali Mullins and Tess Carlton and writer Richard Flanagan recorded by Earth Matters presenter Rebecca Horridge.  We'll also hear Dave Sweeney and Kirsten Blair speaking at the Fight For Country documentary screening in Melbourne late last year to celebrate the Jabiluka Blockade that stopped a proposed uranium  mine on Mirrar country in Kakadu 20 years ago.

A special report from Else Kennedy of Shut Youth Prisons in Alice Springs explores the juvenile (in)justice system from the perspectives of Dylan and Kirra Voller, in the wake of the NT Royal Commission into Juvenile Justice. The Vollers were thrown into the spotlight after a Four Corners report in October 2016 exposing inhumane conditions and treatment of juvenile prisoners, including Dylan. This report includes a spoken word piece from Dylan and a new track from his sister Kirra.We hear a segment on the inspiring acts and seven year imprisonment of US military whistle-blower Chelsea Manning, who recently walked free after President Obama commuted the remaining 28 years of her sentence as one of his final acts as US President. This segment was produced by Andy Paine from 4ZZZ in Brisbane.As the QLD Government lays out the red carpet for mega coal-miner Adani, we get a piece of Murrawah Johnson's mind, of the Wangan and Jagalingou Family Council. These words were recorded at a Sydney forum connecting frontline Indigenous struggles for climate justice in Australia and Canada.Extra music from Red Sand Country.Image: Kirra Voller with brother Caleb and supporters outside the NT Royal Commission hearings in Alice Springs.

We return to what has been touted one of the most significant social and environmental struggles of our era, the fight against the proposed Adani coal mine on Wangan and Jagalingou peoples' land in Central Qld. Hear a conversation with lawyer from Environmental Justice Australia, Ariane Wilkinson, who discusses EJA's research into Adani's international corporate behaviour. Also featured are some excerpts from the Stop Adani Roadshow outlining how people can get active at this crucial time.

This show will be broadcast on Mon 20th Feb 2017We talk to Katerina Gaita (CEO of Climate for Change), who hopes they will have talked to 500,000 Australians by next year and has had interest in the model of community building from Singapore and Canada. Carol Ride is a Psychologist (Psychology for a Safe Climate) who is fortifying those who are already active but weighed down by the frustration and heaviness of knowing how fast we are moving towards irreversible tipping points. Scott Lewington is a musician from The Same Boat. Their show Adios Adani! (A musical protest and fundraiser) will give the proceeds to the Wangan & Jagalingou people whose land is where Adani wants to mine. 
They have taken them to court and need our support.  Main Image: Canadian Tar Sands Healing Walk – Aboriginal elders lead procession under a banner reading “Stop the Destruction Start the Healing”.

Today we're travelling to the Galilee basin in Central Qld, to the country of the Wangan and Jagalingou peoples, where Adani Mining is proposing to mine coal in what would be the southern hemisphere's biggest coal mine. Adani has just been promised 1bn of Federal infrastructure funding. Hear from Murrawah Johnson, a young spokesperson of the Wangan and Jagalingu Family Council. As well as Kumar Sundaram, of the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament in Delhi, India, regarding Adani's corrupt and irresponsible behaviour in its home country.  

Oil giant BP has withdrawn plans to explore for oil in the Great Australian Bight. After several years, the surprise announcement has thrilled local and national campaigns working to protect this pristine stretch of ocean. The Bight is home to 36 species of dolphins and whales, and is an important breeding ground for southern right whales and endangered Australian sea-lions. Amidst the increasing chaos of global warming, public opposition has focused on the detrimental effects of the extraction and burning of yet more fossil fuels.Hear a snippet from the Wangan and Jagalingou people fighting against Adani's proposed coalmine on their beautiful country in the Galilee Basin, Queensland.Also, how do you clean a camel out of a rock hole?Guests:Breony Carbines, Clean Bight AllianceAunty Sue Coleman-Haseldine, Clean Bight AllianceWangan and Jagalingou Family Council audio ​Image: a white Southern Right Whale calf with mother in the Great Australian Bight- Murdoch University. Earth Matters #1058 was produced by Gem Romuld.

The rush to get coal out of the ground and into hungry Asian energy markets has sparked a building boom in coal export terminals. Host Adrienne Fitch Frankel talks with Margaret Gordon of the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project about Oakland's proposed coal port expansion; and with Julian Vincent of Market Forces and indigenous activists Wangan and Jagalingou who are fighting coal export terminals in Australia.

This is a story of how a team of nurses restored a patient’s hope. Editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy speaks with the lead author of the team at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester about how they helped this patient with an unusual and painful illness to begin a journey towards recovery. Their attention to basic nursing care with a holistic approach is an exemplar of what care should be.
