DURATION : 26'45" (frogs til 27'45") UN looks in to depleted uranium in Kosovo March 24th was the first anniversary of the NATO bombing of Kosovo. Throughout the conflict thousands of rounds of ammunition containing depleted uranium were used, leaving a toxic legacy for generations to come. Last year Earth Matters brought you news of the use of depleted uranium with an interview with Radoje Lausevic of the Serbian Ecological Society in Belgrade. Just recently the United Nations Balkans Task Force finalised its investigation in to the environmental consequences of depleted uranium. As early as last year they had determined that the Kosovo conflict did not cause an environmental catastrophe affecting the Balkans region as a whole, and now they say that NATO has not supplied them with sufficient information to carry out environmental and human health impact assessments - including that of the consequences of depleted uranium. Today we hear from activist Jane Howarth about the issue. IN: "Well it's very unclear =85" OUT: "=85 pursue this issue."
